About

Mr Rhys Thomas FRCS

Specialist in Hernia, Gallbladder & Acid Reflux Surgery

🩺 About Me

I am a Consultant Surgeon with specialist expertise in general surgery, upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, and complex hernias. I treat both NHS and private patients across South London and Central London.

I lead the Upper GI surgery service at Croydon University Hospital, where I’ve developed dedicated pathways for managing gallstones, reflux, and complex abdominal wall hernias.  The multidiscplinary team process I established for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction manages patients from throughout London, the South East and across the country, who have complicated abdominal hernisa of all types.

Many of my procedures are performed using minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques. However, I always take a patient-centred approach, tailoring treatment to each individual.

🔍 Conditions I Treat






Hernias (inguinal, femoral, incisional, complex abdominal wall)






Gallstones and gallbladder disease






Acid reflux and heartburn






Swallowing difficulties (e.g. achalasia)






Appendicitis, abdominal pain, pancreatitis






Lipomas, cysts, and skin lumps

🔧 Treatments I Offer






Laparoscopic & open hernia repair






Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)






Anti-reflux surgery (e.g. fundoplication)






Gastroscopy & endoscopy






Abdominal wall reconstruction






Emergency surgery






Lipoma & skin lesion removal

⛳ A Little More About Me

Outside of surgery, I’m a keen cyclist and single-figure handicap golfer. I bring the same focus and precision from sport into every aspect of my clinical practice.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
