Mr. Michael Stellakis is a leading Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgeon based in Leamington Spa. He uses the latest state-of-the-art equipment in treating a range of conditions, including hernia, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and gallbladder disease. He works for the private sector and has a practice at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital. He also has more than 19 years of experience at the South Warwickshire Foundation Trust.
Mr. Stellakis qualified in 1991 from the University of Bristol, before training at a number of medical institutes in London, Strasbourg, and Paris. He then went on to complete a fellowship on Laparoscopic Bowel Surgery at Frimley Park Hospital in 2004.
He has a vast experience in laparoscopic (keyhole) and endoscopic surgery and is one of only 57 Consultant Surgeons in the UK who made up part of the national training programme allowed to train other consultants in advanced keyhole techniques for removing bowel cancers. Mr Stellakis set up from scratch the keyhole bowel cancer service at Warwick hospital, lead the implementation of the state of the art operating suite and pioneered these surgical techniques in the Midlands. He has trained numerous fellows, junior surgeons and consultants.
He also treats benign diseases of the bowel including irritable bowel syndrome. He is a skilled diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopist (having performed over 6000 of these procedures). His resuylts are audited every three months. His comfort and patient satisfaction scores are excellent.
Mr Stellakis has a specific interest in keyhole repair of hernias, colonoscopies and sports groin injuries. He has developed the Warwickshire Hernia Centre that specialises in all types of abdominal hernia surgery including recurrent and complex hernias. He is one of the few UK surgeons who has performed over 2500 TEP laparoscopic hernia repairs with excellent audited results. This technique, whilst more complex to perform than other keyhole or open repairs, affords the patient less pain and scarring and quicker recovery whilst being safer than other techniques. Overall Mr Stellakis has completed over 9000 laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures.
Mr Stellakis was Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital (a position he has held for 7 years) and was the lead for endoscopy. He lead the endoscopy unit during its successful campaign to gain national accreditation (JAG). Nuffield Health Warwickshire was the second private hospital to have achieved this.

I have nothing but praise and immense gratitude for the care and treatment provided by Mr Michael Stellakis. His level of skill and care is exceptional. Michael Stellakis has looked after me so well. He performed surgery on me last month . I felt safe to be under his care and for him to operate on me. My safety and wellbeing were very much a priority to him and I am so grateful he is my consultant and my surgeon. Michael Stellakis rightly enjoys an outstanding professional reputation. It is well deserved and rightly earned by him.
Excellent experience with my laparoscopic hernia repair which was challenging due to how advanced the hernia had become (scrotal) as a result of the NHS letting me down. Mr Stellakis is both immensely skilled and very personable to boot. Thanks!
I noticed one morning an egg shaped lump in my groin area after a hard indoor climbing session and knew immediately I'd torn something and suspected a hernia. A quick Google search of local Hernia surgeons came up with one name in particular, Mr Michael Stellakis, I paid privately for a consultation and the resulting examination involving extremely thorough online tutorials of what is and what contributes to a Hernia left me with no doubt I'd made the correct decision in seeking Mr Stellakis's opinion and my options going forward. Several weeks later I underwent a Bilateral laproscoic Hernia repair. From the initial consultation through to the surgery and the aftercare, every step was dealt with, with complete and utter professionalism that I'd heard about from the Warwickshire Bowel and Hernia Centre. I walked out of the Hospital later the same day as the surgery, 3-4 weeks later I'm back climbing as good as, if not stronger than before the Injury, Simply incredible experience from start to finish. Thank you so much, Mr Michael Stellakis and your wonderful team. Kindest Regards, Aston Woon.
The whole process with my hernia repair was extremely positive, from the pre-op consultation, throughout the surgery, and the post-op follow-up. All the hospital and medical team were very helpful and kept me informed about every step of the process. I was extremely well looked after and am very happy with the resulting repair.
Waiting time for consultation appointment was too long so I cancelled & rebooked with another consultant
Mr.Stellakis had a friendly and relaxed manner which immediately put me at ease. His explanation of my condition and treatment options was very thorough and helpful and the follow-up via his secretary was impressive…first contact within a few hours of the appointment. Overall my experience was excellent.
Mr Stellakis was instantly able to put my mind at ease upon meeting him, everything you need a medical appointment to be . 10/10
Mr Stellakis was very professional and down to earth, explained my options in a clear understandable way.
Mr Stellakis is an excellent consultant, he explained fully the process of my keyhole hernia operation. I followed his advice on my recovery period, resting until I felt comfortable enough to do some light exercise. I suffered very little discomfort after the operation and no bruising.
Promptly saw my patient and organised the suitable investigations. My patient was very happy with the consultation and experience.
