Mr Ash Prabhudesai

I am a Consultant Colorectal, Laparoscopic & General Surgeon at The Hillingdon and Mount Vernon Hospitals, where I have a varied general and colorectal surgical practice. I am Clinical Lead for the Department of General Surgery & Urology. My private practice is at the Clementine Churchill and Bishops Wood Hospitals, along with The BMI Syon Clinic and The Princess Grace Hospital. I undertook my higher surgical training in major hospitals in London, inc Charing Cross and St Mary's hospitals. I also completed a fellowship at St Mark's Hospital, London, which is an internationally renowned centre for bowel diseases. This was followed by a Laparoscopic Colorectal Fellowship in Frimley Hospital, Surrey. I have also undertaken a period of research for over two years on rectal cancer, and was awarded the degree of MD (Research) by the University of London.

My main interests are laparoscopic (keyhole - minimally invasive) surgery for both general surgical and colorectal conditions, both benign and malignant, and the Enhanced Recovery Programme. I am interested in laparoscopic surgery for gall bladder disease and abdominal wall hernias. I also have an interest in proctology inc. management of PR bleeding, minimally invasive treatments for haemorrhoids, perianal sepsis incl. anal fistulas and Botox for anal fissures. I perform colonoscopies regularly.
