Virtual consultations:
I am a consultant surgeon specialising in general, laparoscopic (keyhole) and upper gastro-intestinal surgery for patients in Hampshire, Surrey and London. I have a specialist interest in surgery for abdominal hernias (inguinal, umbilical, epigastric), gallstones (cholecystectomy) and acid reflux including hiatus hernia repair, fundoplication and the Linx procedure. I also perform endoscopy to investigate upper gastro-intestinal symptoms and perform a high volume of oesophageal and gastric cancer operations.
I have been a consultant for nearly 15 years at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS trust in London which is one of the largest upper gastro-intestinal surgical units in the UK, regularly performing complex benign and cancer operations. I co-lead the upper GI cancer MDT (multi-disciplinary team) and lead the Upper GI research group.
I was trained in some of the leading teaching hospitals in London, including King’s College liver unit, the Royal Marsden and St Thomas’. I have a particular interest in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery and was awarded two prestigious laparoscopic surgery fellowships to Pittsburgh, USA and Pretoria, South Africa.
I am Professor of Surgery at King’s College London and the Chief Investigator of a number of on-going clinical trials examining exercise prior to major surgery and symptom management after cancer surgery. I have also initiated numerous international research collaborations that include participating units from the UK, Europe and USA. I have published widely (in excess of 200 peer reviewed publications) in the field of upper GI surgery and supervised 10 MD/PhD students. I am a regular invited speaker at international conferences and sit on the editorial board for the British Journal of Surgery. I have committee roles in both the International and European societies for diseases of the oesophagus (ISDE, ESDE).
