I am accredited with all major private health insurance companies including BUPA, AxaPPP, Aviva, WPA and Vitality. Once an appointment has been made, pre-authorisation will often be provided by your insurers for the initial appointment.
I have an interest in laparoscopic and other ‘minimally invasive’ surgical treatments for a wide range of disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder diseases, inguinal hernias and umbilical hernias. These procedures are performed open or laparoscopically.
I also specialise in UGI tract pathologies as hiatus hernia, dysphagia and conservative/operative management of reflux disease.
Since 2019 I have been a Consultant Surgeon based at Mid Cheshire NHS Foundation Trust, specialising in Laparoscopic, General and UGI Surgery. I have performed thousands of operations including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia surgery and anti-reflux.
I have a special interest in trauma and emergency surgery beside my special interest in UGI and Laparoscopic surgery. A massive earthquake in 2009 destroyed my city L'Aquila, Italy. This event left a big impact on my personal life and my surgical training, as a result of being on the first-line (surgeon) in a natural disaster zone. That unfortunate event pushed me to my limit, trying to do my best in supporting my patients and others caught up in the crisis.
I serve as a consultant at the highly regarded Cheshire Gut Clinic - A Leading Gastroenterology Clinic.
As faculty member of Royal College of Surgeons of London, I participated as a trainer to the RCS Core Skills Laparoscopic Surgery, Liverpool, UK (June 2021). I am also the Lead trainer for the Surgical First Assistance Operative Procedure, with the aim to train nursing staff to become first assistants in surgical procedures (November 2020 - July 2021).
The NHS side of my practice is based at Leighton Hospital. I see patients from adjoining parts of Cheshire and Wales.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr Giuseppe De Santis at Spire include:
General surgery
Other treatments

I have a lovely family here in England, with two beautiful daughters and a wonderful wife. We love to spend time together, having nice walks with our dog and enjoying the beautiful British countryside.
I love reading books and I am trying to transmit this passion to my young daughters, reading to them in Italian and English.
