Soft Tissue Service
Laurent Findji
Senior Surgeon Oncology and Soft Tissue
Soft tissue surgery refers to any type of surgery for treatment of diseases which are not orthopaedic or neurologic.
As such, it includes surgery of most organs, the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, bladder, lungs, heart, as well as surgery of other soft parts of the body, including skin, muscle, fat and so on.
Our soft tissue surgeons are specialised in reconstructive, ENT, genitourinary, thoracic and gastrointestinal surgery. In many cases, their specialisation in surgical oncology and the availability of our medical oncology department is also a major advantage, as many soft tissue surgery cases turn out to have aspects linked with oncology.
We are based at the oncology and soft tissue centre on the Surrey Research Park in Guildford
