About Mr David Nasralla

Mr David Nasralla is the Clinical Lead for the Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and Liver Transplant service at the Royal Free Hospital, London, having been appointed as a consultant there in 2019. He is an expert in the treatment of complex benign and malignant conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, and receives referrals from across the United Kingdom and beyond.

The diseases that he most commonly treats are:

- Pancreas cancer (adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours, cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic metastases) including with vascular reconstruction

- Benign/premalignant conditions of the pancreas (pancreatitis, IPMN, mucinous cystic neoplasms, pseudocysts and others)

- Liver cancers (intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangicarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver metastases from a range of primary tumours, neuroendocrine tumours and others) including with vascular reconstruction

- Benign conditions of the liver (liver cysts, cavernous haemangiomas and others)

- Gallbladder cancer

- Benign gallbladder disease (the full spectrum of gallstone disease and its related complications, complications following cholecystectomy, bile duct injury and reconstruction, gallbladder polyps and more)

- Abdominal wall hernias

- Emergency abdominal surgery 

- Liver transplant surgery

Mr Nasralla studied medicine and received his PhD from Oxford University Medical School. His doctoral research looked into a method of keeping the liver alive outside the body (normothermic liver perfusion) in order to increase its transplantation readiness. He has won numerous national and international honours for his work, including the International Liver Transplantation Society's Rising Star Award. The British Transplantation Society awarded him the coveted Medawar Medal, and he is frequently requested to give presentations at international surgical conferences. His work has also appeared on the covers of Nature, BBC Radio 4's Inside Health, and the BBC Two television series Hospital.

Mr Nasralla is a member of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, the UK and Ireland HPB Association, the British Transplantation Society, and the International Liver Transplantation Society. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

I went to see Mr Nasralla for an operation to remove my gall bladder following a severe infection, which made my situation somewhat complex. Mr Nasralla was brilliant at talking me through my scan and explaining the options and risks, v precisely and carefully. I felt fully involved in the decision-making. The operation itself went perfectly and I couldn’t have been happier with my overall treatment.

It has taken me more than a month since my mother’s operation to write this review because finding the words to describe what Mr Nasralla did for my family has been one of the more difficult feats I’ve had to face this year. My mother presented with an asymptomatic cholangiocarcinoma to his clinic for consideration of an operation. Her diagnostic journey was swift and she initially felt very unprepared for the prospect of an operation. Going into the first appointment with Mr Nasralla at the Royal Free on a Friday, she was almost certain that she could not possibly consent to an operation the following Monday. However, walking out of that same appointment, I was overcome with categorical trust in him as a surgeon and doctor unlike I have had for any health professional in charge of a family member’s health. His ability to gracefully navigate sensetive questions in the appointment was highly admirable and his integrity as doctor throughout were singular. I did not have a single doubt about proceeding to the operation from then on, and neither did my mom. His skills as a surgeon are evidenced by my mother’s complete resection and wide negative margins on biopsy. He found a small window of time and in it, he performed a miracle that my family cannot repay. Mr Nasralla’s one singular differentiating quality is his integrity. He never promised to deliver miracles even though what he has done for my mother feels like one, and I always felt like we were proceeding with my mother’s care on a shared agenda that always prioritised her health and wellbeing. I will be eternal...
