About me
David Khoo is a general surgeon speciliasing in upper gastrointestinal surgery
He was appointed a consultant in 1996 at Oldchurch and Harold Wood Hospitals (now replaced by Queen's Hospital, one of the hospitals of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust).
He retired from full time NHS practice and now works part-time in the NHS at Basildon Hospital.
David Khoo has a private practice at the Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood and the Spire Wellesley Hospital in Southend.
He has a very wide background in training which included all areas of general surgery which included specialties like vascular, breast and colorectal surgery. However, the area of laparoscopic surgery and surgery of the gut are his main interests. He was one of the first to take up laparoscopic surgery; he was doing as much as possible laparoscopically in the pioneering days of laparoscopy in the UK at around 1991, including appendicectomy, colon resection, hernia repair and gallbladder surgery. He now concentrates his time on the surgery of the gut in particular the foregut (upper gastrointestinal surgery).
During his time, he has had a big role in the development of the local services for laparoscopic surgery, and advanced complex laparoscopic surgery. He has also been a main force in the development of gastrointestinal diagnostic services such as the rectal bleeding clinics. Much of his experience involved the most difficult forms of laparoscopic surgery ie oesophagogastrectomy, hiatal hernia and reflux surgery, splenectomy, colon resection and biliary surgery in particular. He has published on subjects such as laparoscopic common bile duct exploration for gallstones and Barrett's oesophagus.
His private practice includes surgery for benign conditions of the gallbladder, stomach, hiatus, abdominal wall hernias and bariatric operations at the Spire Hartswood and Spire Wellesley Hospitals.
Although the Spire Hartswood Hospital is not a training hospital, he is known for training of junior surgeons and received the prestigious “Silver Scalpel” award in 2009.
He has an interest in the efficient and rapid diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions and the appropriate use of investigations such as endoscopy.
