Mr Alfredo
Tonsi.

I am a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at The Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.  With expertise in surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, bowel cancer and complex anal fistulae. I am an international expert in advanced minimally invasive bowel surgery.

I have received specialised training in bowel diseases and proctology at internationally renowned medical institutions such as St. Mark’s Hospital, St. George’s, and St. Thomas Hospital in London. This training has equipped me with extensive experience in minimally invasive approaches to treating conditions such as bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, complex fistula repairs, and deep endometriosis.

During my training, I engaged in scientific collaboration with the Hepatobiliary Department of the University of Verona, Italy. This collaboration culminated in the awarding of my PhD in 2012.

Over the course of my career, I have successfully performed more than 4000 general and colorectal surgical procedures. These include laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, laparoscopic anterior resection, complex anal fistula repair, and abdominal wall hernias. Additionally, I am a recognized national trainer on colonoscopy accredited by the JAG Endoscopy Training System.

I serve as the Surgical Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) lead at Royal Sussex County Hospital, where I closely collaborate with  dietician team and gastroenterology colleagues to optimise patients with bowel disease prior to their surgery. Furthermore, I am an elected member of the proctology committee of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland

I am a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, the British medical Association, the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons, European Association of Coloproctology and European Endometriosis League.
