Mr Achyuth Menon

I have done my M.S surgery in India and I started working in this country in 1997 after finishing my FRCS. I did my specialist surgical rotation in the westmidlands region and I have gained a huge amount of experience working in a number of specialist tertairy units. I did my laparoscopic fellowship in Bristol before being appointed as a laparoscopic colorectal consultant. I have published a number of peer reviewed papers and my work has been presented at a number of internation meetings. I also have extensive experience in a management role. I was the Service Director for General Surgery, Breast and Urology for a period before taking over the role of Clinical Chair for the entire surgical division which included all the surgical specialities, critical care, theatres, anaesthesia, CSSD, pain team and allied specialities. I did this role for almost four years. I have been involved in the journey of transforming Sherwood Forest NHS trust from a trust in special measures to the best acute trust in the country as voted in the HSJ awards 2021. 

I have been a consultant colorectal and general surgeon since 2007. I offer all aspects of colorectal surgery including laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery, surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease, diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, surgery for fistulas, fissures, piles, prolapse and functional bowel conditions. My specialist clinical interest is in treatment of anorectal conditions. I can offer a number of different procedures for piles including haemarroidal artery ligation + mucopexy, stapled haemarroidectomy, banding or the old fashioned open haemarriodectomy. I also have extensive experience in all spheres of general surgery including laparoscopic hernia repair, incisional hernia repair, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and excision of lumps and bumps. I am a JAG accredeted endoscopy trainer and perform a large amount of complex polypectomies on the NHS and my endoscopy rates are excellent with minimal complication and excellent patient compliance. I sincerely beleive in patient directed treatment and I work along with the patient to have the desired outcome.
