About me

Professor Shaun Preston is a distinguished General Surgeon and Director of the specialist Oesophago-Gastric Unit at The Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust Hospital. This is a tertiary/quaternary unit specialising in the management of benign oesophago-gastric disorders and is a dedicated oesophago-gastric cancer unit.

Professor Preston has an international reputation in the field of oesophago-gastric cancer and complex hiatal surgery (anti-reflux surgery, revisional anti-reflux surgery, giant paraoesophageal hernias and Heller's cardiomyotomy for achalasia). He is invited to lecture and chair sessions at international conferences, teaches senior trainees and more junior consultants on training programmes, and also demonstrates surgical technique 'live' and by video at specialist symposia.

He has a wealth of expertise in robotic, laparoscopic (keyhole) and open surgery, and also in endoscopic techniques including interventional endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound. He is very well respected for his specialist skills in the management of reflux, Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal and gastric cancer, achalasia, abdominal and inguinal hernia repair and gallstones.

Professor Preston earned his medical degree from the University of Leeds. He also has a Doctorate and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In the Intercollegiate Fellowship in General Surgery in 2000, Mr Preston was awarded the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI) Gold Medal & Prize for the best results across the UK. He later earned the esteemed Japanese Foundation for the Promotion of Cancer Research/British Council Fellowship at the National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, where he worked in the Gastric, Oesophageal, and Endoscopic Divisions.

Professor Preston previously served as a Visiting Surgeon at the Division of Foregut Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, in 2006 where he learned thoracoscopic oesophagectomy. He, and his team, also visited and worked with Dr Low and his team at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle (2011) to develop the first UK Standardised Enhanced Recovery (ERAS) Pathway for Oesophagectomy. He is well-known on the international stage and is invited to lecture widely, as well as to demonstrate surgical techniques around the world. In 2015, he was the Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at the Royal College of Surgeons of Australia Annual Scientific Meeting.

He is Honorary Professor of Oesophago-Gastric & Robotic Surgery at the University of Surrey, and the Visiting Professor at Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Hospital in Kuwait. His research interests are in the evaluation and optimal management of patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer. He is the National Chief Investigator for one NCRI portfolio study (NeoAEGIS) and Principal Investigator on another (OCCAMS). He has clinical interests in Enhanced Recovery (ERAS), Standardised Clinical Pathways, and Prehabilitation ahead of surgery (Prehab).
