About Mr Andrew Port
Personal Profile
Please note: MAKO robotic-arm assisted surgery can only be carried out at Woodlands Hospital.
Mr Andrew Port is a highly experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, practising at Woodlands Hospital in Darlington and The Duchy Hospital in Harrogate. He welcomes NHS, self-pay, and insured patients, offering expert care in hip and knee replacement surgery. With over 35 years in orthopaedic surgery and 25 years as a consultant, Mr Port has built a reputation for clinical excellence, leadership, and innovation in joint replacement.
His practice is now entirely focused on hip and knee replacements, including partial and revision procedures. Over the past five years, he has performed more than 1,000 robotic-assisted joint replacements using the MAKO robotic-arm system, making him one of the top three most experienced users of this technology in the UK.
Mr Port plays a leading role in the development and training of robotic surgery in the UK. He advises the Royal College of Surgeons on robotic technology, overseeing its integration into surgical training and accreditation. He also sits on an expert advisory group for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), contributing to national guidance on the use of robotic systems in orthopaedics.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr Port has held senior leadership roles in the NHS for over a decade. He currently serves as Chair of Surgical Services and Lead Surgeon at the Friarage Surgical Centre, where he has helped shape the delivery of orthopaedic care across North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley. His commitment to surgical education spans more than 20 years, during which he has examined nationally and internationally. He continues to deliver exams and set quality standards for surgical accreditation in Hong Kong and Singapore on behalf of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Mr Port’s outcomes reflect his dedication to excellence, with low revision rates and consistently high levels of patient satisfaction in both hip and knee replacement surgery. His combination of clinical expertise, pioneering use of robotic technology, and leadership in surgical education makes him a trusted choice for patients seeking advanced orthopaedic care.
