Scope of practice

Patients may be referred to Dr van Gangelen by their GP, Dermatologist, local medical centre or by doctors working in the hospital.


Skin cancer: Dr van Gangelen treats patients with skin cancers including melanoma and performs lymph node biopsies, sentinel node biopsies and lymph node clearance. He works closely with Canberra Oncologists in the management of Melanomas and advanced skin cancers which may also require chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He takes great pride in achieving exceptional cosmetic results and has established a reputation for this using a number of reconstructive techniques. 


Hand Surgery: Conditions of the hands that Dr van Gangelen treats include skin cancers, carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cysts, trigger finger and Dupuytren’s contracture.


Hernias: Ventral, umbilical or inguinal hernias or hernias following previous surgery (incisional hernias) are repaired with laparoscopic techniques. 


Gastro-intestinal: Dr Van Gangelen investigates and treats abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, change in bowel habits, bleeding, anaemia, reflux, indigestion, gallstones, haemorrhoids, anal pain and rectal prolapse. Patients are also accepted for bowel cancer screening due to symptoms or a family history. Many patients are monitored by Dr Van Gangelen long term due to an increased risk of bowel cancer or a personal history of polyps, bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel disease. Patients who already have a diagnosis of bowel cancer can be referred to Dr Van Gangelen for cancer surgery. Dr Van Gangelen performs laparoscopic / key hole surgery to treat bowel cancer and he works closely with oncologists to coordinate care.
