About Mr Vasileios Minas
Personal Profile
Mr Vasileios Minas, PhD, MRCOG is a Lead Endometriosis Surgeon and one of the highest volume surgeons in the UK for complex laparoscopic surgery and deeply infiltrating endometriosis. He has an excellent and well-documented outcome and safety record. He treats several gynaecological conditions including pelvic pain, endometriosis, adenomyosis and adhesions, heavy menstrual bleeding, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids. He provides diagnostic and complex hysteroscopic surgery both under local and general anaesthetic.
He is Director of the BSGE-accredited Endometriosis Centre at the Runnymede hospital in the private sector at Surrey, where he leads a multi-disciplinary team of specialists with several years experience in managing severe endometriosis. In January 2024, the Runnymede Endometriosis Centre became one of the very few centres in the private sector in the UK to be fully accredited by the British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE). Mr Minas is Lead Endometriosis Surgeon at his NHS base, the Centre for Endometriosis and Minimally Invasive Gynaecology (CEMIG) at St. Peter's Hospital in Surrey, one of the largest and most historic Endometriosis Centres in the United Kingdom. Mr Minas has introduced a robotic surgical service for complex endometriosis at St. Peter’s Endo Centre.
He has received a number of national and international awards and scholarships for his academic work. In 2023 he was awarded the prestigious Alan Gordan Travelling Fellowship by the BSGE, to travel to Zurich to learn from Professor Marc Possover and complete his training in Neuropelveology. He has published over 40 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals and has delivered over 100 presentations in national and international conferences. He regularly lectures at national and international meetings and training courses. He has been invited by UK-based Universities, including King's College London and Brunel Universities, to deliver lectures to medical students and raise awareness on Endometriosis.
He has served for 3 years as College Tutor for the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists at Ashford & St. Peter's NHS Hospitals, where he was awarded for his contribution to the training and development of young gynaecologists. During those years he was responsible for overseeing and regulating the training of more than 100 trainee doctors who came through the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Ashford & St. Peter’s hospitals. He now continues to regularly supervise and teach senior Fellows in Endometriosis surgery, thus actively shaping the new generation of Endometriosis Specialists.
He is one of the first Gynaecological Surgeons in the UK to have completed the prestigious training programme “Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery for the Excision of Benign Disease”, a training module in excisional endometriosis surgery by the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists. He was awarded a position in this training programme in 2012, through international competition, at a time when there were only 5 such available posts in the United Kingdom.
Mr Minas offers a holistic approach to his patients, taking into account the effect of their condition on their overall quality of personal and professional lives and family plans. He uses both medical and minimally invasive surgical methods to provide patient-tailored and evidence-based treatments.
He offers consultations at the Runnymede hospital in Surrey and the Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor, as well as virtually.
