MR. ROBERT CABLE

Tauranga Obesity Surgery Centre - Mr. Robert Cable FRCS (England) FRACS


Mr. Robert Cable FRCS (England) FRACSI am a General & Laparoscopic Surgeon who has been involved with Obesity Surgery since the 1980’s. Since 1996 I have changed to Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery with the insertion of LAP-BAND® System, and in 2006 Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. I have specialist expertise in Laparoscopic or Minimally Invasive Weight-loss Surgery. Because of the small wounds, minimally invasive surgery means less pain and faster recovery.
