About
Mr De Santis has been a surgeon for almost 10 years, of which he spent the last six years in the UK. He has an interest in laparoscopic and other ‘minimally invasive’ surgical treatments for a wide range of disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder pathology and OTC, bile duct exploration, inguinal hernia, ventral and umbilical hernia. These procedures are performed open or laparoscopically.
He also specialises in UGI tract pathologies such as hiatus hernia, dysphagia and conservative/operative management of reflux disease.
Since 2019 he has been a Consultant Surgeon based at Mid Cheshire NHS Foundation Trust, specialising in laparoscopic general and UGI surgery. As part of the UGI service, he works closely with a team of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals to deliver a high quality and safe service for patients. During his work in the NHS, he has performed thousands of operations including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia surgery and anti-reflux.
Besides his special interest in UGI and laparoscopic surgery, he has a special interest in trauma and emergency surgery. In 2009, a massive earthquake destroyed his city L'Aquila in Italy. This unfortunate event left a big impact on his personal life and surgical training, as a result of being a first-line surgeon in a natural disaster zone.
