Mr Paul Nichols
Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon
MB ChB, MD, FRCS
Specialises in
- Bowel cancer surgery
- Bowel symptoms
- Colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy
- Haemorrhoidal surgery and treatment
- Hernia repair surgery
My practice covers all areas of laparoscopic colorectal surgery, with a main focus on colorectal cancer with a particular interest in low rectal surgery (using Lap TME).
Other areas of interest include restorative proctocolectomy (pouch) for inflammatory bowel disease, colonoscopy and a wider interest in more minor perineal conditions including pilonidal disease. As a well trained General Surgeon I also perform hernia repairs and other minor and intermediate surgery.
As of January 2009 I have performed over 250 laparoscopic colorectal procedures with excellent results. All my data is audited locally and historically within the Wessex Laparoscopic Colorectal Group.
I graduated from Leeds University in 1989 following two years of research towards an MD. I did my initial training in Leeds and Bristol before joining the Wessex registrar training programme. I spent three years in dedicated colorectal training at Portsmouth, Southampton and Sydney, Australia. Since my consultant appointment in 2001, I have had a number of sabbaticals to Hong Kong and Europe to establish an expertise in laparoscopic colorcetal surgery.
