About
Mr. Panagiotis Drymousis is a highly accomplished Consultant General and Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgeon, specialising in surgical care at Whittington Hospital NHS Trust in North London.
Mr. Drymousis earned his medical degree from the University of Athens, Medical School. After completing his compulsory military service, he commenced his surgical training at Hippocration Hospital in Athens, Greece, one of the University Hospitals affiliated with the Medical School of Athens. During this period, he received comprehensive training in General and HPB (Hepatobiliary) surgery.
Upon finishing his training in Greece, Mr. Drymousis pursued advanced training in HPB surgery in the United Kingdom. He was appointed as a Senior Clinical Fellow in HPB Surgery at Hammersmith Hospital in London, where he dedicated two years to further develop his skills in this specialised field. He undertook a PhD focused on complex upper gastrointestinal surgeries and the management of related complications, successfully defending his thesis and receiving his PhD with honours from the University of Athens. Following this, Mr. Drymousis secured a prestigious Marie Curie European Scholarship for advanced training and research in HPB and Neuroendocrine Surgery.
His surgical practice covers a wide range of specialties, including the diagnosis and treatment of dyspepsia symptoms, gallstone disease, biliary pathology, and various forms of hernia surgery, both open and laparoscopic. Mr. Drymousis plays a pivotal role in leading the rapid access clinic at the Whittington Hospital, an ambulatory care pathway designed to streamline diagnosis and treatment, minimise hospital stays, and enhance the overall patient experience.
Committed to the training of junior doctors and surgeons, Mr. Drymousis actively participates as a faculty member in training days and hands-on courses organised by the Royal College of Surgeons and other surgical and academic societies. He also serves as a faculty member for the Royal College of Surgeons Intermediate Laparoscopic Skills Course and the Basic Surgical Skills Course.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Drymousis remains active in research, frequently presenting his research findings at national and international meetings and delivering lectures at prominent scientific gatherings.
His clinical interests span a wide range of surgical areas, including gallstones and biliary pathology, complex abdominal hernias, abdominal wall reconstruction, pancreatitis (diagnosis, acute management, and definitive treatment), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (diagnosis, management, and follow-up), and ambulatory and day-case surgery, with a focus on enhancing acute surgical pathways, surgical ambulation, and implementing enhanced recovery protocols for day-case surgery.

Dr Drymousis explained the procedure in details and performed with great result
5
Superb from start to finish. In both consultation meetings Mr Drymousis was very clear in his explanations and generous with his time. He seemed to welcome my interest in the procedure and was very open to explaining his preferred methods in the operation. His calm, kind and approachable manner dispelled any anxiety around the operation itself. He inspires confidence in every way. The open surgery to repair my femoral hernia (in January 2024) went very smoothly: there were no complications on the day or following the procedure; healing was swift and straightforward. I cannot speak highly enough of the skill and knowledge of Mr Drymousis and am extremely grateful that I was assigned to him for treatment. If ever I had a gastro-intestinal problem in the future requiring an operation, I would wish him to be my surgeon again.

Mr Drymousis was amazing. From the moment I attended my initial appointment to be assessed for a hernia operation, to my surgery and beyond, he has been approachable, knowledgeable and all that I could have wished for in a consultant. He explained the procedure to me in layman's terms and allowed a space for me to ask questions. I did not have many because his explanation had been so clear and concise. I felt very confident in his knowledge and skill set and can confirm that the operation was a success. I would recommend Mr Drymousis again and again. A true professional, an expert in his field!

I feel very grateful to have been under his care and would not hesitate to refer people I know to Mr Drymousis.
Many thanks for your review, much appreciated

Mr Drymousis is the ultimate professional. He knows his craft to a level I've never seen before in a medical practitioner. His explanations were clear but thorough and he helped me make the best decisions as to how to proceed with my triple hernia repair surgery. Before and after the surgery, he made me feel at ease and comfortable. And his follow-up 8 weeks after the surgery confirmed that I was perfectly healed and able to move-on to living a normal life. I can't recommend him enough !
Many thanks for your review - I am very pleased to hear that you felt comfortable throughout the process.
