Bowel Surgery London: private colorectal surgery

Mr Jonathan Wilson, a highly trained London-based laparoscopic Colorectal Surgeon and General Surgeon provides minimally invasive colorectal surgery to NHS patients at the Whittington Hospital and University College London Hospital, and runs clinics and surgeries for private patients in central London at The London Clinic, and at OneWelbeck Digestive Surgery.

Any type of surgery to the abdomen has traditionally involved a major operation with a long and often painful recovery.

“The development of laparoscopic bowel surgery and minimally invasive general surgery has been a big step forward. Patients with gallstones, hernias, inflammatory bowel disease and bowel cancer now benefit from less time in hospital, less pain in the few days after surgery and less time laid up in recovery.”

Successful and effective laparoscopic colorectal surgery depends very much on surgical skill, training and experience. Mr Wilson completed two surgical fellowships at leading training centres for laparoscopic surgery in the UK and now performs over 200 laparoscopic surgical procedures each year.
