About Mr Alistair Slesser

Personal Profile

Mr Alistair Slesser is a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon based at the Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Alistair is the co-lead of the Division of Surgery and Urology. He is a core member of the Colorectal cancer MDT and the chair of the abdominal wall reconstruction MDT. His main interest is in diagnosing, managing and operating on colorectal cancer patients. He is an expert in minimally invasive surgery and the majority of his colonic and rectal resections are undertaken with this approach. Alistair also has an interest in complex incisional hernia repairs and has successfully developed that practice at his NHS base.

Alistair manages and operates for most colorectal and general surgery conditions and regularly performs keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia repairs and gallbladder removals.

Mr Slesser offers minimally invasive surgery using the da Vinci 5 Surgical System at The Clementine Churchill Hospital, the UK’s first private hospital to adopt this advanced robotic-assisted technology. Leveraging enhanced precision, 3D visualisation, and wristed instruments, he delivers improved surgical outcomes, shorter recovery times, and care across his specialties in general and colorectal surgery, including robotic colorectal cancer surgery, and is highly experienced in the robotic management of all types of hernias.

Alistair is very passionate about his vocation and his patients. He always provides a very meticulous and honest assessment of all his patients and always endeavours to use his wealth of experience to provide a tailored operative approach to ensure the very best outcomes for each individual patient.
