Mr Paul Super

Paul Super has been a consultant Upper GI Surgeon at Heart of England NHS Trust in Birmingham (now part of University Hospitals Birmingham) for 25 years. He graduated in London in 1987 and carried out his initial surgical training in London followed by speciality training in Upper GI Surgery in Sheffield between 1996-1999, where he learned hiatal surgery. He has been heavily involved in the development of day case surgery wherever he has worked, from inguinal hernia surgery in the late eighties through to advanced Upper GI laparoscopic surgery today. There are around 2000 laparoscopic hiatal cases performed annually in the UK with a day case rate overall of about 10%, and half of these day case numbers come from Birmingham where the day case rate for this surgery is 90%. Numerous courses take place in Birmingham where consultants and senior trainees visit his unit to share in this expertise, by observing three or four of these procedures on the morning day case list. He has a large lap band practice in bariatric surgery and performs several of these cases weekly including revisional surgery, together with surgery for gallstones and hernia repair surgery
