I undertake all aspects of colorectal surgery as well as general surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgery. This includes complex major colorectal surgery involving multiorgan resections, inflammatory bowel disease surgery and abdominal wall reconstruction following laparostomy and fistulation.

My practice also entails treating pelvic floor disorders, undertaking both laparoscopic and pelvic approaches for treat these disorders. At the same time I also undertake all aspects of proctology in particular fistula management, performing plug surgery, advancement flap and LIFT procedures.

I am recognised by the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy as an accredited Colorectal specialist for the treatment of complex endometriosis and am a Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accredited endoscopist.
