Welcome to the Laser Centre
The Laser Centre was established in Ireland in 1994. The Goal of the Laser Centre is to promote Minimally Invasive Surgery and Health Care using the most sophisticated technologies and highly trained medical personnel. By complementing the experience of physicians and surgeons with the new technologies, patient care can be delivered without pain or discomfort.
The Laser Centre Clinic only uses minimally invasive techniques which prevent the possibility of MRSA and other related superbacterial infections. The Laser Centre Clinic has never had such an experience. Please feel free to navigate through our website. If you require any further information regarding our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to advise.
1987
In 1987 Patrick Leahy from The Laser Centre developed Keyhole surgery or laparoscopic surgery in Canada and the USA.
The approach to using less invasive techniques to perform Hernia repair, Gallbladder surgery, Hiatus Hernia and Anti-Reflux surgery was initially met with scepticism.

By 1989, all of this changed, Laparoscopic surgery became one of the greatest evolutions in modern day surgery. Surgeons from all over the world gathered to learn and develop this exciting and new trend in surgery. He continued to pioneer new and exciting methods and instruments for Colon Cancer, Gastric surgery and to train surgeons in many countries throughout the world.
1993
In 1993, a pioneering surgeon from The Laser Centre invented the device for Hand Assisted Laparoscopic surgery and created the concept and surgery known as HALS (Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery).

Galileo Surgical Corporation, the research arm established by Patrick Leahy, developed many leading breakthroughs in Minimally Invasive Surgery.
1994
In 1994, Patrick Leahy established The Laser Centre, 14 Hume Street, Dublin, to further develop minimally invasive surgery. This was established to:
- Expand the specialty of minimally invasive surgery.
- Use the most advanced technologies available.
- Treat patients with serious medical and surgical problems.
The Laser Centre Clinic is now one of the foremost Clinics in the world, specializing in Minimally Invasive Surgery. It offers the unique experience of early treatment of Sports Injuries, Arthritis, back pain, Varicose Vein surgery, skin cancer treatments, Haemorrhoid treatment and many others.
1997
In 1997, realizing the world would face a crisis due to CO₂ emissions, a pioneering surgeon from The Laser Centre invented Gasless surgery. In Laparoscopic surgery, CO₂ gas is used. The combined total of CO₂ released into the environment from Laparoscopic surgery in The United States is the equivalent of the CO₂ emissions from all cars in New York State, New Jersey and Connecticut. In Europe, CO₂ use in Laparoscopic surgery results in the emissions of CO₂ equal to car emissions in Spain, UK, and Italy. The new form of gasless surgery will have a major beneficial impact on the planet and will simplify minimally invasive surgery, considerably reducing the operative procedure time for all surgeons and patients.
