Mr Julian Hance

I have been a consultant surgeon based at Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust for nearly over 13 years specialising in the treatment of colorectal disorders. I gained my medical degree from Cambridge University before continuing my training at Imperial College in London. I attained a higher degree in medical education under the supervision of Lord Darzi at Imperial College before moving too the Oxford Region. I trained at Oxford University Hospital, under the guidance of Prof Mortensen learning my sub specialist skills in colorectal surgery. Since my consultant appointment, I have developed my interest in the treatment of Early Rectal Cancer including 'local excision' (TAMIS /TEM). I perform robotic colorectal resections on a weekly basis as I believe this delivers significant benefits both in short term recovery and longer oncological outcomes to my patients. I am a European Proctor - Teach qualified surgeons how to use the da Vinci surgical platform. I am a core member of the Pelvic Floor Multidisciplinary Team meeting at Leeds. This forum is used to discuss complex cases of faecal incontinence, mixed incontinence and obstructive defecatory disorders. As part of the pelvic floor service I perform Ventral Mesh Rectopexy Surgery, Insertion of Sacral Nerve Stimulators and STARR procedures. I am married to a local General Practitioner and have three young daughter, who keep us busy. I am keen Cyclist, Skier and sailor.
