Mr Philip Stott

After attending medical school in London he did most of his basic surgical training in and around Brighton. He completed his DPhil (PhD) at Sussex University in Biomechanical Engineering. This work has changed how surgeons are trained. He then went on to train on the St. George's Hospital Orthopaedic rotation. He completed a trauma fellowship in New Zealand and then joint replacement and pelvic fracture fellowships at St. George's Hospital in Tooting. He has visited many units throughout Europe to gain experience in hip treatments. During his training Mr Stott quickly became interested in hip problems. He was attracted to pelvic fractures as a way to gain expertise with pelvic/hip anatomy and disorders. He uses modern and recognised techniques, regularly attending and participating in conferences that find the best way to treat or replace hips. He uses a minimally invasive and muscle sparing technique for most of his hip replacements (where safe and applicable). This allows a quicker recovery and smaller scar. Many of his patients can drive after 2 weeks, compared to over 6 weeks for most surgeons. ?He has an interest in the treatment of infected joint replacements, complex hip replacements and in patients with massive bone loss having revision surgery. Mr Stott also performs hip replacement surgery in the NHS as well as privately, now exclusively at the Montefiore Hospital Hove. He regularly operates on patients with complex fractures around the pelvis or around joint replacements.

Mr Stott specialises in treating hip disorders ranging from sports men and women or someone having their first hip replacement to the patient who has problems with their fifth hip! He is fascinated by how hip surgery and treatment have improved over the last 2 decades. Mr Stott enjoys guiding patients through the complexity of modern hip treatments, including surgery.  He specialises in truly minimally invasive surgery and complex hip replacements Reliable surgery by someone who cares about people and their outcomes.
