About

https://yorkshiresurgeon.co.uk/about-me-praminthra-chitsabesan-consultant/

I am a highly experienced Consultant Colorectal Surgeon with

over 12 years as a consultant, I have been a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon for

over 12 years and specialise in treating patients with bowel, hernia, and

pelvic floor conditions. My patients come to me with a wide range of concerns –

from constipation, prolapse and recurrent haemorrhoids to complex abdominal

wall problems and bowel cancer.

I trained at Oxford and Newcastle Universities, was

awarded a PhD in Medical Education, and then gained specialist

fellowship training at Basingstoke Hospital – the world-leading centre

for advanced bowel and abdominal cancer surgery. Since then, I’ve gone on to

set up the robotic colorectal surgery service in York, which is now one

of the most successful in the UK.

I am proud to be:


President-Elect of the British Hernia Society

Lead for Robotic Surgery at York & Scarborough Hospitals

Honorary Senior Lecturer at Hull York Medical School

A founding member of the York Abdominal Wall Unit, recognised internationally


I have published research and presented my work around the

world, an am an advisor to national health bodies and societies but just as

importantly, I am passionate about giving my patients the very best care. I use

the latest keyhole and robotic techniques whenever possible, meaning

smaller scars, quicker recovery, and less pain after surgery.

My areas of expertise include:

✔ Hernia repair (keyhole & open surgery)

✔ Bowel cancer surgery

✔ Advanced abdominal wall reconstruction

✔ Pelvic floor surgery –

including prolapse, constipation & haemorrhoid treatments

✔ Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy

Above all, I believe in being approachable, clear, and

honest with my patients. As my feedback on the website ‘I Want Great Care’

suggests, my aim is always to make sure you feel listened to, well-informed,

and confident about your treatment.

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

— Mr Praminthra Chitsabesan
