Mr Dariush Kamali is a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at Woodlands Hospital in Darlington.
He has comprehensive expertise in general and colorectal surgery, including:
- Gallbladder surgery
- Hernia surgery
- Specialised management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer
He is an established surgeon in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery and was appointed as a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. Mr Kamali is one of a small number of surgeons in the UK who can perform single incision or 'scarless' laparoscopy surgery (SILS). This is for patients who require surgery for either benign or malignant surgical conditions. He holds full JAG accreditation in both upper and lower GI endoscopy and performs advanced endoscopic procedures. This includes colonic stent insertion for patients with advanced bowel cancer. Mr Kamali is always looking for ways to effectively innovate in his field, and has successfully introduced a new stent technique at the Trust. This has enabled more patients to receive this procedure.
After graduating from The University of Nottingham Medical School in 2008, Mr Kamali completed his general surgical training in the Northern Deanery. He then went on to become a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2018. He is passionate about educating medical students and surgical trainees alike. Since completing a master’s degree in Medical Education at The University of Newcastle, Mr Kamali has acted as a Clinical and Educational Supervisor for both core and higher general surgical trainees from the North East of England.
Mr Kamali has been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals in both general and colorectal surgery. He has presented his work internationally, including at the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons in Boston, USA. He is registered as a specialist in general surgery with the General Medical Council.
Outside of work, Mr Kamali enjoys spending time with his wife, their three young children and their lovable labrador, Pippin. The family enjoy hiking in the beautiful local countryside and travelling, with skiing being a favourite past time. Mr Kamali plays football and tennis regularly, in addition to being a keen runner and has completed a number of marathons.
Mr Kamali is BUPA-registered.
