Areas of Speciality
Dr Mastakov’s surgical practice encompasses a broad range of procedures, including:

HAL (Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation): A minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic haemorrhoids that reduces pain and bleeding with quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional excisional surgery.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Appendectomy: Modern minimally invasive removal of the gallbladder and appendix for conditions like gallstones, cholecystitis, and appendicitis, prioritising faster recovery and smaller scars.
Breast Surgery: Assessment and surgery for both benign and malignant breast conditions, delivered with a balance of oncologic safety and cosmetic consideration when appropriate.
