Mr Nigel D'Souza

I am a UK-trained Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon, offering private patients expert care in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of bowel conditions using the latest techniques, including robotic (da Vinci) and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.

I offer specialist treatment for:

• Bowel (colorectal) cancer
• Diverticular disease
• Haemorrhoids, anal fistulas, skin tags, pilonidal disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, change in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhoea), bloating and incontinence

I routinely investigate symptoms using colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy and offer rapid access to modern diagnostics and personalised treatment plans.

What I offer:

• Robotic and minimally invasive surgery: less pain, faster recovery, smaller scars
• International expertise: trained in leading UK, Australian, and South African units
• Award-winning research: led studies that changed national guidelines; principal investigator on new surgical trials
• Teaching and research active: Honorary Clinical Lecturer and Principal Investigator for UK-wide trials in colorectal surgery

I studied Healthcare Policy and International Relations at Dartmouth College, USA, before completing my medical training at UCL. I trained in London and Oxford, then pursued advanced fellowships in Australia (Sydney), including at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, one of the top centres globally for colorectal cancer and robotic surgery.

My NHS base is University Hospital Southampton, where I lead colorectal cancer surgery and contribute to surgical research and education.
