Mr Maciej Pawlak MD, FRCS(Ad Eundem), FEBS (AWS), PhD Consultant Upper GI and Abdominal Wall Surgeon Golden Jubilee National University Hospital & Ross Hall Hospital, Glasgow Mr Maciej Pawlak is a Consultant Surgeon specialising in Abdominal Wall Surgery (AWS) and Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Surgery. Based at the Golden Jubilee National University Hospital and Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow, he provides a comprehensive range of advanced minimally invasive and robotic procedures for complex hernia and abdominal wall reconstruction, as well as upper GI and biliary surgery. His practice encompasses the full spectrum of hernia surgery—including inguinal, femoral, umbilical, epigastric, incisional, and complex abdominal wall reconstruction—using open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches such as r-TAPP, eTEP, and r-TARUP. He also performs revisional procedures for chronic pain and recurrent hernia, botulinum toxin-assisted component separation, and minimally invasive techniques for rectus diastasis. In the field of Upper GI Surgery, Mr Pawlak manages gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), hiatus hernias, and benign oesophageal and gastric disorders, offering advanced laparoscopic procedures including fundoplication, hiatus hernia repair, and cholecystectomy with bile duct exploration. At the Golden Jubilee, he is leading the establishment of a dedicated Abdominal Wall Service, integrating enhanced recovery, multidisciplinary planning, and state-of-the-art robotic platforms to optimise surgical outcomes and patient experience. An active member of the European Hernia Society (EHS) and the British Hernia Society (BHS), he has served on the EHS Board and contributed to international guidelines and collaborative audits. His academic work includes numerous peer-reviewed publications and invited lectures on minimally invasive and robotic hernia surgery, abdominal wall reconstruction, and evidence-based guideline implementation. Mr Pawlak’s approach combines surgical precision with a strong focus on safety, recovery, and long-term functional results—helping patients return quickly to normal life with the highest standards of care.
