Dr Mark Lynn

Dr Mark Lynn is a General Surgeon with extensive training in surgical practice, supported by a background in medical education, postgraduate surgical development and the management of a range of general surgical conditions. He graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1989 before undertaking postgraduate surgical training within the Hunter New England Health network. He subsequently achieved Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), a recognised specialist qualification reflecting his advanced surgical training.

Dr Lynn has a particular interest in the assessment and surgical treatment of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias. These conditions can cause discomfort, pain or a noticeable bulge, and he provides surgical care tailored to the type and severity of the hernia. His practice also includes laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder, commonly performed to treat gallstones and related symptoms.

In addition to his surgical practice, Dr Lynn performs gastroscopy and colonoscopy to examine the upper and lower digestive tracts. These procedures can help investigate digestive symptoms and identify abnormalities that may require further assessment or treatment. His broad scope of practice supports patients requiring evaluation and management of abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions.

Dr Lynn currently practises at Maitland Private Hospital, where he provides general surgical care to patients requiring assessment, investigation and surgical treatment.
