I saw Mr Hornung because I had cancer of the rectum; he was my surgeon. I met with him a couple of times before the operation and he explained everything in detail, ensuring that I fully understood everything about the procedure, including the risks. My tumour was situated very close to the outside thus there was a significant risk that Mr Hornung would need to remove my rectum and anus during the operation leaving me with a permanent stoma. The operation was scheduled for 2.5 hours. It took almost 7 because Ben worked very hard to ensure that all the tumour and the surrounding lymph nodes were removed without him having to remove my rectum and anus. Because of his hard work and care I am now cancer free and I have a temporary stoma which will be removed after around 6 months. I cannot thank Mr Hornung enough for his generosity of care and the will to do his absolute utmost for his patients. He is very approachable and easy to deal with and I could not recommend him highly enough to anyone who is in need of a surgeon, he is excellent.
