Mr Alla Amin

I am a general surgeon with a special interest in coloproctology and laparoscopic surgery. I have worked with a variety of surgeons with different surgical interests. My main higher surgical training was in the North East Thames region. I also trained in coloproctology, inflammatory bowel disease and ano-rectal functional disorders at the Royal Free Hospital in London. My training at Whipps Cross Hospital extended my experience in laparoscopic surgery, especially cholesystectomy (key-hole surgery for gall bladders) and hernia repair surgery.

In my private practice I carry out laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair and laparoscopic gall bladder removal together with a variety of other general surgery procedures. I also carry out all forms of laparoscopic bowel surgery. Recently I started treating haemorrhoids with a new technique of radio-frequency ablation (RAFAELO). It is a safe and effective day care procedure with minimal post-operative pain and early recovery. I also carry out paediatric surgery including hernia repair, circumcision and undescended testicles.

My private practice reflects my NHS practice and includes, as mentioned, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hernia repair surgery in addition to management of pelvic floor disorder and constipation.

Personal profile:

I am married with two grown-up sons. I am actively involved in improving standards of health education in the community. I regularly arrange talks and workshops for my local community and am willing to extend this to other communities
