Common General Surgeries Offered Privately in Canada

Why consider private general surgery?

Canadians might consider private general surgery when ongoing pain, lumps, hernias, or gallbladder attacks are running their life and the public wait list is months or years. Delays can mean more ER visits, missed work, cancelled trips, and constant worry about things getting worse.

Private general surgery offers faster access to vetted Canadian surgeons for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, soft‑tissue tumour excision, and other abdominal operations. You can compare clinics, review credentials, and get clear timelines for assessment and surgery. For many people, choosing a private option is about regaining comfort and function sooner, while putting less strain on an already stretched public healthcare system.

Surgency is your guide—not a clinic—connecting you with out-of-province options through accredited, licensed clinics and surgeons. We help you compare options, costs, qualifications and provide you with the resources you need to make a confident, informed decisions.
