About Mr Bart Decadt

Mr Decadt finished his medical training in Belgium and took up surgical training in South Africa and Manchester. He completed a MD research degree (UEA, Norwich) on Evidence Based Laparoscopic Surgery. His (world first) trial confirmed that patients with significant acid reflux obtain a higher quality of life longterm with keyhole surgery (hiatus hernia repair and nissen fundoplication) compared to acid suppressing medication (PPI).

Mr Decadt was appointed as Consultant Upper GI Surgeon in 2005 in Stepping Hill Hospital and as a Honorary Consultant in Central Manchester University Hospital in 2008, where he introduced laparoscopic cancer surgery for stomach and oesophagus in the North West.

Mr Decadt has been an active surgeon since 33 years and has performed over 5000 laparoscopic procedures. His main interests are: 1) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; 2) laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 3) laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair.

No visit, all done in the phone and to be honest that’s all that is required for this type of procedure.

I recently visited Mr Decadt with a medical concern, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his exceptional care. From the moment I made the call I felt valued and reassured. Mr Decadt went above and beyond to address my needs, demonstrating remarkable kindness and compassion throughout my visit. He prioritised my urgent care, pulling out all the stops to ensure I received the attention I required. His dedication to his patients is truly commendable, and it made a significant difference in my experience. A shout out also to Claudia his private secretary, what a team ! Thank you, Mr Decadt ! I will be forever grateful for your support and expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of compassionate and attentive care.

Absolutely fantastic. Operation went very well and Mr Decadt was very impressive. The nursing staff couldn't do enough to keep myself comfortable. The hospital was spotless and if I have to I will use this hospital again in the future.

Extremely kind and caring surgeon. No charge for initial consultation for sleeve gastrectomy. No rush. No pressure. Full explanation of what to expect. Post op came to see me and explained the procedure... with photos. Calm and reassuring. I chose this surgeon as I had witnessed his behaviour with patients on the ward where I work. Follow up care continued for 2 years. I have lost more than 70% of my excess weight. For those thinking sleeve gastrectomy is a quick and easy fix... it's not! But the surgery has changed my life for the better. I would absolutely RECOMMEND Mr Decadt if you are thinking of having weight loss surgery.

I feel honoured you've chosen me and grateful for the very kind feedback. 70% excess weight loss confirms your motivation for change and hard work during the 2 year follow up care package. Well done!

I cannot fault anything from the first phone call/consultation, pre operation checks and on the day of the operation. All the staff were very professional, respectful and friendly. Highly recommended.
