Treatments & Procedures

Evidence-based surgical care tailored to your needs — available privately in Nottingham, the East Midlands and Heraklion, Crete.

Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue. I perform both open and laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repairs, selecting the most appropriate technique for each patient based on the type, size and location of the hernia.

  • Inguinal hernia repair
  • Femoral hernia repair
  • Umbilical hernia repair
  • Incisional hernia repair
  • Abdominal wall hernia repair
  • Laparoscopic and open surgical techniques

Gallbladder Surgery

Gallstones can cause significant pain, infection and complications. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (keyhole gallbladder removal) is a well-established, minimally invasive procedure that typically allows a quicker recovery compared with open surgery.

  • Diagnosis and assessment of gallstones
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
  • Management of biliary colic and related conditions

Thyroid Surgery

Thyroid surgery requires careful planning and precise technique. With extensive endocrine surgical experience at tertiary referral centres, I manage a range of thyroid conditions with a focus on safety and optimal functional outcomes.

  • Thyroid nodule assessment and surgery
  • Thyroidectomy procedures
  • Endocrine surgical management

Skin & Soft Tissue Surgery

Benign skin and soft tissue lesions are common and often straightforward to treat. I provide assessment and surgical removal where appropriate, with clear aftercare guidance.

  • Lipoma removal
  • Sebaceous and other cyst excision
  • Skin lesion assessment and removal
  • Soft tissue lump evaluation

General Surgery

I offer comprehensive general surgical consultations for patients seeking expert assessment, treatment planning or a second opinion. Appointments are available face-to-face and online for your convenience.

  • Outpatient consultations
  • Second opinions
  • Online consultations
  • Pre-operative assessment and planning
  • Post-operative follow-up

Transplant Surgery — Professional Experience

While transplant surgery is primarily delivered within NHS tertiary centres, my extensive experience in this field underpins the high standards I bring to all aspects of my surgical practice. I have performed over 350 kidney transplants as primary surgeon across leading UK transplant programmes.

  • Kidney transplantation — living and deceased donor
  • Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation
  • Living donor laparoscopic nephrectomy
  • Deceased donor procurement and multi-organ retrieval
  • High immunological risk recipient management
  • Vascular access surgery — AV fistula creation and revision
  • Perioperative transplant recipient care
