Thyroid surgery (including thyroid nodules, goitre and thyrotoxicosis). I have been doing thyroid surgery for more than 25 years. I offer a truly multidisciplinary approach to the management of surgical thyroid disorders and worek in close association with a medical endocrinologist and a dedicated thyroid radiologist with extensive experience in the ultrasound of the thyroid gland.

Hernia surgery including both primary and recurrent hernias.I treat all kinds of abdominal wall hernias including inguinal, umbilical/paraumbilical, incisional and femoral hernias. I have performed over 5000 hernia operations and successfully managed many challenging cases including large hernias and multiple recurrences.

I also have a special interst in surgery for pilonidal sinus disease, treatment of which has generally been associated with high rates of recurrence, open wounds and prolonged healing times.
