Mr Dibyesh Banerjee MBBS MS FRCSEd FRCS

I am a senior Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon and Hon Senior Lecturer at St George's Hospital, University of London. I am a member of the Association of Breast Surgeons (ABS) and erstwhile Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. My main interest lies in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery, which is an established surgical sub-specialty encompassing all aspects of breast surgery – combining the best principles of cancer surgery with the best techniques of breast reconstruction and cosmetics. I underwent my Specialist training at the Oncoplastic Breast Unit in Winchester and at the Cardiff Breast Unit in Wales. My international experience includes Sentinel Node Biopsy training at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York and a Travelling Fellowship at the Winship Cancer Institute and Crawford Long Hospital, Emory University, Atlanta. I have also attended several training courses in the UK and abroad, including a Breast Reconstruction Course at European Institute of Oncology in Milan and the Jersey Breast Reduction Masterclass. As a keen surgical trainer, I established the St Georges Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Seminar – a biennial training programme aimed at Breast Surgery trainees. I am Member of the Aesthetic Committee of the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS). I also perform ‘benign/cosmetic’ breast operations each year – including correction of inverted nipples, breast asymmetry (uneven breasts), breast enlargement, breast reduction and breast lift (mastopexy). I am also a specialist in male breast problems e.g., male breast reductions for gynaecomastia.
