About Mr Michael Wilson

Mr Michael Wilson is a Consultant General and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon with extensive experience in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. He specialises in gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Practising privately at Dundee Outpatient Centre and Kings Park Hospital in Stirling, he also serves as the Clinical Lead for General Surgery at NHS Forth Valley. Additionally, Mr Wilson holds a visiting position as a Major Trauma Surgeon at St Mary’s Hospital Major Trauma Centre, part of the Imperial College Healthcare Trust in London.

Mr Wilson is highly regarded for his expertise in laparoscopic gallbladder removal, often sought out by patients requiring swift and effective treatment for gallbladder-related conditions. His skill in hernia surgery includes both groin and abdominal wall hernias, and as the lead for the complex hernia regional multidisciplinary team, he offers advanced surgical techniques such as abdominal wall reconstruction supported by botulinum toxin injections. He is also experienced in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, diagnosing and treating conditions such as acid reflux, non-cardiac chest pain, swallowing difficulties, and stomach pain. His training in anti-reflux surgery places him among a select number of surgeons in Scotland able to provide surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia.

Committed to holistic patient care, Mr Wilson believes in treating the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on the surgical condition. He works closely with a multidisciplinary team that includes nurses, radiologists, anaesthetists and physiotherapists to ensure each patient receives comprehensive care before, during and after surgery. He also provides guidance on lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and weight management, helping patients reduce their peri-operative risks and improve their long-term recovery and wellbeing.

Mr Wilson is a strong advocate for research and innovation in surgery. He actively contributes to high-impact studies and promotes the involvement of patients in shaping future healthcare services. His research work plays a role in developing national clinical guidelines, refining surgical procedures, and improving overall standards in general and gastrointestinal surgery. He is also known for his inclusive care of patients with higher body mass index, tailoring his surgical approach to their specific needs and offering guidance to support their health both before and after surgery.

In addition to his clinical practice, Mr Wilson is deeply involved in surgical education and mentorship. He is a faculty member of the Definitive Surgical Trauma Skills course, a consultant appraiser, and a contributing member of national surgical organisations such as the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Benign Upper Gastrointestinal Surgical Society. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers.

Mr Wilson also serves in the Royal Navy Reserves as a Consultant Surgeon within the Healthcare & Medical specialisation, where he holds the role of SO1 Medical Officers. He is currently the only consultant general surgeon in the Royal Navy Reserves, providing specialist care in military settings and contributing to the medical readiness of UK service personnel.

I cannot recommend Mr Wilson and his team highly enough. From the very beginning, Mr Wilson was friendly, professional and relaxed, which immediately put me at ease. He was thorough, approachable and took the time to make me feel comfortable, filling me with confidence throughout the whole process. The care I received both before and after the surgery was fantastic, and my recovery was much quicker than I expected. The professionalism, kindness and attention shown by Mr Wilson and his entire team made a real difference to my experience. I am extremely grateful to Mr Wilson and his team for the excellent care they provided. Thank you for giving me my life back. I can now enjoy playing with my kids and living my life without constantly having to worry. That means more to me than words can express. Thank you all for making what could have been a stressful experience so reassuring and positive. I will always be grateful for the care, support and confidence you gave me

I contacted Mr Wilson to treat a bilateral Inguinal hernia. From the outset Mr Wilson explained my options and was careful to highlight any risks that may have developed. I was completely informed and enabled to make choices about my treatment. Post op Mr Wilson took time to contact me soon after the op to enquire how I was and offered further advice and reassurance. At the 4 week point Mr Wilson examined my progress and again gave me advice and reassurance.

I cannot recommend Mr Wilson highly enough. I was worried that I had an epigastric hernia and would need surgery. Mr Wilson allayed my fears immediately by explaining that what I have is in fact a condition called diastasis recti which does not need operated on. Mr Wilson gave me very good advice on how to manage the condition in a very clear manner. Thank you so much.

Mr Wilson explained the whole procedure providing reassurance, answered all my questions and put me at ease as I was initially nervous about the surgery. Surgery went really well and recovered quickly. Patient care was excellent from first consultation, during hospital stay and at follow up. Highly recommend.

I had an inguinal hernia that appeared about 4 months after a keyhole prostatectomy. The hernia was quite painful to start with. I would have had to wait about a year for an operation on the NHS so I decided to have it done privately. Mr Wilson was able to see me within a few days of my contacting Kings Park Hospital. He explained everything very clearly and in a friendly way. This included the fact that he would have to do an open surgery because of the previous keyhole prostatectomy. My operation was a month later and all went smoothly. During a follow up meeting a month after the operation, Mr Wilson addressed my concerns in an expert and friendly way. I was initially not so great at doing the exercises that the physio at Kings Park Hospital gave me, but she was very supportive, giving me new exercises and calling once to follow up. Three months after the surgery, I am more or less back to my usual activities (walking, cycling). I still have occasional aches along the scars, but these are eased by massage. And I still try to do the exercises.
