Dr. Adam Rapaport is a Consultant Surgeon, Graduate of Sydney University.  He has important overseas postgraduate training in a university department in Texas.  He has been in a private surgical consulting practice for over twenty years.  He is a Consultant Surgeon for the Australian Defence Forces and has been in this position for over five years.  He consults for the Services and he operated on many young Service men and women who develop hernia problems.  In addition to his interest in hernia surgery he has special expertise in laparoscopic procedures and trauma surgery.  The majority of his hernia patients are treated as a day case or overnight stay.  They receive injection of Local Anaesthetic into the operative site, which reduces the post-operative pain.  He realises the importance of an efficient return to full activities for army personnel, elite sportsmen and construction workers.  The use of the mesh in all the types of hernia surgery facilitates this.  This same principle applies however to sedentary workers and the elderly patient.  In addition Mr Rapaport has long-standing extensive experience in treating children’s’ hernias.  Mesh is not generally used.  The main consulting rooms are in Bondi Junction.  However most of the major metropolitan areas in Sydney are catered for on a regular or request basis. Non-insured, insured and WorkCare patients are cared for.
