Paul R. Burton is a Bariatric Surgeon based at 55 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. His work is mainly about weight-related health, and also the gut conditions that can come along with it.
In day-to-day practice, he looks after people who live with obesity and abdominal obesity, and the health problems that often show up over time. That can include type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome. Many patients also have gut and liver issues, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and in some cases cirrhosis.
Paul also deals with conditions around the stomach, oesophagus, and digestive tract. This can include reflux problems like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernia, and areas of concern such as stomach cancer or oesophageal cancer. At times, patients need help after complications too, including gastrointestinal perforation or oesophageal perforation. He also manages people who have gastroparesis and ongoing issues with malnutrition.
For procedures, his service includes sleeve gastrectomy and gastrectomy, as well as gastric bypass. He also performs endoscopy and colonoscopy, which can be important for checking symptoms, understanding what’s going on, and planning safe care. Depending on the situation, he may work with people who have complications or ongoing metabolic issues linked to weight.
