About

Mr San Sunkaraneni is a Consultant Rhinologist, adult and paediatric ENT surgeon who works at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, UK and provides a regional service for Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. He carries out a weekly outpatient clinic at Cranleigh Village Hospital.

Mr Sunkaraneni is a UK trained Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon who graduated from the University of London. During his medical school training, he spent a year undertaking a Bachelors degree in Clinical Anatomy, where his interest in the anatomy and surgery of the head and neck region began.

He underwent his general ENT training at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge and in the Wessex Deanery on the south coast of England.

As a result of the recognition of his achievements, he was selected from a highly competitive international field to spend a year undergoing sub-specialty training at the renowned St Paul's Sinus Centre, Vancouver, Canada.

During this year, he gained substantial experience in rhinology, particularly computer assisted sinus surgery (CASS) and the skull base, including the endoscopic removal of brain tumours through the nose (keyhole surgery), under the tutelage of Dr Amin Javer.

He was awarded the 2010 Travelling Prize by the Royal Society of Medicine, and in the same year was awarded the Travelling Fellowship by the British Rhinological Society.
