About

Mr Vincent Yip is a consultant hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) and general surgeon at the Royal London Hospital, Barthealth NHS Trust. He performs all general surgical operations and specialises in surgery of the gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.

His particular interest is in the use of minimally invasive approaches, specifically the use of the Da Vinci Robot, to treat complex HPB diseases. He is the current robotic HPB lead at the Royal London Hospital.

After graduating from the University of Glasgow in 2000, Mr Yip completed his Doctor of Medicine research degree at the University of Edinburgh. From 2006 to 2013, he received advanced surgical training at the Mersey Deanery, where he gained expertise in pancreatic surgery under Professor John Neoptolemos and liver surgery under Professor Graeme Poston. He then completed a two-year post-specialist training fellowship in HPB and liver transplantation at Hong Kong University and King's College Hospital, focusing on cancers in the cirrhotic liver.

Mr Yip has previously worked as a Consultant HPB Surgeon at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, the world's largest pancreatic centre, where he served as the clinical lead for the pancreatic cancer MDT and pancreatic neuroendocrine service.

He has over 30 published papers and book chapters to his credit, as well as numerous national and international appearances. He is currently the principal investigator for a number of clinical trials at the HPB unit at the Royal London Hospital.

Explanation

My experience with Dr. Yip was fantastic, by far the best I have ever had when encountering a medical emergency. Throughout my hospitalization and later surgery he was attentive to my concerns and described all issues and treatments in detail. He has a positive attitude while still addressing serious issues, and put me and my family at ease. His communication was top notch and I could reach him or know he would follow up the same day on requests. His office staff were also helpful throughout the process.

Very good experience (well, as surgeries go!). Mr Yip was able to arrange surgery for me at short notice, which was very helpful. He explained the surgery much more clearly than any other surgeon I consulted had done and made sure I understood the procedure. The surgery itself went well and the recovery time was as expected. Highly recommend.
