Ms Erika Birgiolaite

I am a Consultant General Surgeon based at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Ilford, with a focused elective practice in laparoscopic hernia surgery, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, and the surgical management of anorectal conditions. I qualified in medicine from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences in 2014 and completed my surgical training in 2019. I am an active member of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery, the European Hernia Society, the British Hernia Society, and the European Society of Coloproctology. I maintain my surgical development through regular participation in European and international courses, hands-on workshops, and specialist training, including recent advanced training in anal fistula surgery. Hernia Surgery I have a focused practice in minimally invasive hernia repair, including laparoscopic repair of inguinal, umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernias, as well as open repair where clinically indicated. I aim to achieve effective repair with minimal recovery time and optimal cosmetic results. Gallbladder Surgery I perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones, gallbladder polyps, and other gallbladder conditions, using a minimally invasive approach that supports a swift return to normal activities. Anorectal Conditions A significant part of my practice is dedicated to the treatment of haemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulas, and pilonidal sinus disease. I offer a range of procedures including HAL-RAR haemorrhoidal artery ligation, haemorrhoidectomy, rubber band ligation, and fistula surgery, with a focus on effective symptom resolution and smooth recovery. As a female Consultant Surgeon, I recognise that many patients prefer to discuss sensitive or intimate symptoms with a female specialist. I provide a professional, unhurried, and non-judgemental consultation experience, with treatment plans tailored to each patient's individual circumstances and goals. I consult and operate at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Ilford
