Mr Thomas Satyadas

Written by a private patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

I had been undergoing chemotherapy under the NHS for the treatment of liver cancer, following an earlier operation for bowel cancer, when I decided to seek a second opinion. I was referred to Thomas Satyadas to discuss the possibility of a liver re-section. He listened carefully to my medical history before advising that he could operate to remove the 10 tumours. He then went through the potential risks of the operation, heightened by my suffering from haemochromatosis, in considerable detail and indicated that he would only proceed subject to me passing a fitness test and undergoing a stress test on my heart. During the consultation he also identified that I had a ruptured hernia which he would be able to operate on at the same time. The operations on my liver and hernia were both successful, which are testament to Mr Satyadas's skills as a surgeon, but what I also came to appreciate are his total dedication, humour and compassion for his patients.

I have the utmost respect, and gratitude for the expertise, determination and prodigious talent of Mr Satyadas. Not only did he devise a plan to deliver a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in complicated circumstances shortly following a quintuple coronary artery bypass, but he also adapted that approach to meet the increased complexities of a situation made yet more challenging by sepsis and an urgent need to operate. Throughout all of this my family and I were in constant contact with Mr Satyadas to provide updates on my condition, and we cannot thank him enough for taking time out of his busy schedule to support us. I know for a fact that other surgeons would barely contemplate undertaking the procedure in these circumstances through open surgery, let alone conceive that it could be done laparoscopically. The persistence and determination shown by Mr Satyadas to ensure that that the procedure took place as scheduled, despite the grave reservations of so many around him, were equally impressive. His dedication to his work, and to the well-being of his patients, is unsurpassed. Following the successful procedure, Mr Satyadas kindly offered to show us a recording of the surgery. This may not be to everyone’s taste, but it gave us a unique opportunity to see the exceptional skills of Mr Satyadas, accompanied by a detailed – yet modest – commentary on how he had navigated the complexities of the challenge and delivered the promised outcome. The surgery delivered by Mr Satyadas has been life-changing, and to experience first-hand the exceptional care and unsurpassed skill of this remarkable man has been life-enhancing. With deepest gratitude Professor Andrew Cooper

What a fantastic surgeon I have had 2 previous hernia repairs and was diagnosed with bilateral inguinal hernia. Dr Satyadas was very thorough and explained everything including the risks involved. I was admitted for surgery and he came to my room put me at ease,explained everything and also said he would call my wife to let her know how surgery went. After coming round i was amazed at how neat the job was with keyhole surgery and within 2 weeks im feeling great.After 2 previous operations i was convinced id have to have open surgery but this man worked miracles!Very pleased with the operation and the great care from all the ward staff and theatre staff.

Had a bilateral inguinal hernia repair. Mr Satyadas was direct and easy to understand. The procedure was a resounding success despite the fix being bigger than expected once the procedure was underway. 14 days later I'm walking around with minor discomfort but no difficulty and 3 tiny scars which will probably fade completely. Never doubted I was in the safe pair of hands of an expert. I also dare say on followup as he assessed the tiny scars no small about of pride in his excellent handiwork.
