Consultant General Surgeon & Specialist Coloproctologist
MBBS, MS, FRCS (Gen Surg)
Specialises in
- Colon and rectum disease
- Crohn's disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Haemorrhoids
- Gallstones
I have been a Consultant Surgeon since 2002. I am a specialist in the surgical treatment of all diseases of the colon and rectum: cancer, diverticular, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. I am an expert in laparoscopic surgery for bowel problems, and manage anorectal problems such as haemorrhoids, fissure, fistula and pilonidal sinus.
As part of general surgery, I treat gallstones and hernias. I perform lower gastro-intestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy, as part of the investigation of bowel symptoms.
My specialist interest is colorectal surgery with specialist expertise in laparoscopic colon and rectum operations.
I participate in the emergency on-call rota at the Lister hospital as part of the general surgery team. I am a faculty member at the Iceni centre in Colchester where I teach laparoscopic colorectal surgery to senior surgical trainees. I have a fellow attached to my surgical team specifically to be trained in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
