There are many and varied conditions of the ‘solid organs’ in the abdomen which may give symptoms such as upper abdominal or back pain, loss of appetite, a feeling of fullness or vomiting. Conditions of the liver, pancreas or spleen can also be detected on blood tests or scans. Obviously any suspicion of tumour or cancer should be dealt with urgently by further medical opinion, investigations and treatment. But other conditions often only need a specialist opinion and reassurance or perhaps surveillance and check-ups.

- Pancreas cysts or lesions
- Gallbladder conditions (no gallstones) – Gallbladder polyps or thickening, gallbladder dysfunction
