I am a Consultant General Surgeon. My NHS practice involves working as part of a team of surgeons and oncologists treating approximately 120 new colorectal cancers every year.
In my private practice I offer services including coloproctology, endoscopy and minimal access surgery.
I offer advice on a wide range of abdominal problems including bowel disorders and hernias, diagnostic and screening colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy for patients with suspected colorectal cancer and gastroscopy. I perform about 200 hernia operations, 100 haemorrhoid operations and 100 colonoscopies per year.
I qualified in 1981 following undergraduate training at Cambridge University and the Middlesex Hospital, London, and gained much of my surgical experience at the Royal Free Hospital, London. In 1992 I was awarded the degree of Master of Surgery from Cambridge University for my thesis on the treatment of liver tumours.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr John Richard Novell at Spire include:
