private health insurance companies including BUPA, AxaPPP, Aviva, WPA and
Vitality. Once an appointment has been made, pre-authorisation will often be

Mr De Santis has an interest in laparoscopic and other ‘minimally
invasive’ surgical treatments for a wide range of disorders involving the
gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder diseases, inguinal hernias and umbilical
hernias. These procedures are performed open or laparoscopically.
He also specialised in UGI tract pathologies as hiatus hernia,
dysphagia and conservative/operative management of reflux disease.
Since 2019 He has been a Consultant Surgeon based at Mid Cheshire NHS
Foundation Trust, specialising in Laparoscopic, General and UGI Surgery. He
has performed thousands of operations including laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
hernia surgery and anti-reflux.
He has special interest in trauma and emergency surgery beside his
special interest in UGI and Laparoscopic surgery. A massive earthquake in
2009 destroyed his city L'Aquila, Italy. This event left a big impact on his
personal life and my surgical training, as a result of being on the
first-line (surgeon) in a natural disaster zone. That unfortunate event
pushed him to my limit, trying to dohis best in supporting patients and others
caught up in the crisis.
He serve as a consultant at the highly regarded Cheshire Gut Clinic -
A Leading Gastroenterology Clinic.
