Mr Justin Davies
Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon
MA MB MChir LRCP FRCS (Gen Surg) FEBS (Coloproctology) FASCRS
I have been a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge since 2007. I am an Affiliated Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow at Downing College, Cambridge. I am recognised as a leader in the field of colorectal surgery, and am President of The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and President of The Royal Society of Medicine Section of Coloproctology. I am the author of over 230 peer review publications, over 20 book chapters and Co-Editor of two surgical textbooks.
My main clinical interests are in minimally invasive treatments. These include the treatment of haemorrhoids (including outpatient / day case treatments such as suction banding and doppler-guided THD / HALO), and the use of minimally invasive (laparoscopic, “keyhole”) surgery for bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and diverticular disease. I offer investigation and treatment for rectal bleeding and change in bowel habit, bowel cancer screening / colonoscopy, and treatments for other conditions affecting the "bottom" including anal abscess, fistula, fissure, etc. I provide surgery for groin and abdominal wall hernias.
