Mr Haider Jan

Mr Haider Jan is a consultant gynaecologist and minimally invasive surgeon. He has been a consultant since 2013, leads the BSGE-accredited Endometriosis Centre at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, and is an honorary consultant at King's Fertility. He sees private patients at Spire St Anthony's Hospital in Sutton, Nuffield Health Parkside Hospital in Wimbledon, Ashtead Hospital and the CRP Clinic in Epsom. Most of Mr Jan's operating is robotic (da Vinci) or laparoscopic keyhole surgery, which for most women means less pain and a quicker recovery than open surgery. He has carried out more than 2,000 keyhole operations and, on average, more than 120 robotic operations a year. Robotic surgery is his preferred approach for complex operations, such as removing large fibroids or deep endometriosis affecting the bowel, bladder and ureters. Many women see him after being told that their operation needs a large open incision, and he is often able to offer keyhole or robotic surgery instead. He treats endometriosis at every stage, removing it by excision wherever it is safe to do so, and operates alongside colorectal surgeons and a specialist endometriosis radiologist when a case calls for it. He has a particular interest in conditions of the womb that affect fertility and pregnancy, including Asherman's syndrome, uterine septum, polyps, fibroids and caesarean scar niche, which he has been repairing since 2013, and he looks after women whose miscarriages may be linked to a structural problem of the womb. He carries out more than 150 hysteroscopic procedures a year on average, most as day cases. He also carries out complex prolapse surgery, robotically or laparoscopically, including sacrocolpopexy, sacrohysteropexy and hysterectomy with uterosacral ligament suspension. He has been doing these operations since 2013, in the NHS and privately, and also offers anterior and posterior vaginal repair. Alongside his surgical work he sees women with heavy or painful periods, pelvic pain, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, bleeding after the menopause, and menopause and HRT. Mr Jan sets out every reasonable option, including no surgery, sees his patients at every stage of their care, and sends a detailed letter after each appointment, usually within 30 minutes. At Parkside and the CRP Clinic he performs the ultrasound scan himself during the consultation. Consultations are available in English or Arabic, and by video. He trained at St George's, King's College Hospital, the Royal Marsden and the Royal Surrey County Hospital, where he completed a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery. At Epsom and St Helier he has also been lead for gynaecology, clinical director and divisional medical director. He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers, received the AAGL's Carlo Romanini Award for research in endometriosis, and trains surgeons in robotic and laparoscopic surgery.
