Mr Wael Ismail

Mr Wael Ismail is a Consultant Breast Surgeon whose private practice is based primarily at Spire Hartswood private hospital in Brentwood, Essex and the Spire London East Hospital in Redbridge.

He operates on more than 200 women with breast cancer every year, aiming to deliver high quality breast care and excellent results to both his private and NHS patients. His breast service is built on a strong multidisciplinary ethos and follows all guidelines and evidence-based protocols for breast cancer treatment.

Mr Ismail is also an accredited breast screening surgeon and operates on women who have no breast symptoms and whose cancer has been detected during routine mammography screening. For these patients, Mr Ismail uses the wire localisation technique to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment.

In addition to the wire localisation technique, Mr Ismail offers the following surgical treatments at Spire Hartswood Hospital and Spire London East Hospital :

• wide local excision of breast lump
• mastectomy
• skin sparing mastectomy
• mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction performed in conjunction with a specialist plastic surgeon
• reconstruction options include implants, implant plus latissimus dorsi (LD) flap, and deep inferior epigastric pedicle (DIEP) flap as appropriate
• blue dye sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) to determine spread of cancer to the lymph system, with minimum lymph node removal
• axillary clearance of lymph nodes

Patients with breast symptoms who come to Mr Ismail's Monday evening private breast clinic at Spire Hartswood and Thursday afternoon clinic at Spire London East can normally have investigations (mammography, breast ultrasound, fine needle aspiration and/or core biopsy) on the same day. This is classed as a One Stop clinic.

The Spire Hospitals' specialist breast care nurses support all private breast patients and treatment planning is done by a multi-disciplinary team including surgeon, oncologist, radiologist and pathologist before and after surgery.
