Mr Abdelrazeq is an expert in laparoscopic gallbladder and colorectal operations, with a specialist interest in both open and laparoscopic repair of all types of abdominal wall hernias. Furthermore, he is a JAG-accredited endoscopist and an expert in both diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy).
He has a sub-specialist interest in proctology and provides a comprehensive surgical service for conditions such as anal fissure (fissurectomy, sphincterotomy), haemorrhoids (banding, THD, HALO, mucopexy, stapled haemorrhoidectomy—also known as PPH—Ligasure and excisional haemorrhoidectomy), and fistula surgery (fistulotomy, seton, and fistula biological plugs).
In addition, he performs procedures including minimally invasive treatments for haemorrhoids (THD/HALO) and stapled haemorrhoidectomy, fistula in ano surgery, treatment for anal fissure, and the cleft lift procedure for pilonidal sinus.
To date, Mr Abdelrazeq has performed over 8,000 endoscopy procedures, more than 4,000 laparoscopic procedures for gallbladder disease, hernia repair, and colorectal resections, as well as over 2,000 procedures for anal fissure, haemorrhoids, and fistula.
His key performance indicators and quality and safety outcomes for colonoscopy and gastroscopy are in accordance with JAG, national, and international standards. His clinical and operative outcomes are of a high standard, with conversion and complication rates below the national average.
Mr Abdelrazeq has been a consultant laparoscopic and colorectal surgeon for over 10 years. Prior to this, he completed 17 years of post-registration training, gaining exposure to all major sub-specialties within general surgery. He has worked in four major laparoscopic units across the UK, where he acquired advanced training in general and laparoscopic surgery, providing him with considerable experience. The final three years of his specialist training in the Yorkshire Deanery were primarily focused on laparoscopy and colorectal surgery.
He has been an accredited trainer on JETS for upper and lower GI endoscopy since 2007 and is also an accredited bowel scope screener. In his current NHS practice, he has a major commitment to GI endoscopy, which also constitutes a significant proportion of his private practice.
He values the challenge and rewards of teaching and considers it an integral part of his ongoing professional development. He is regularly involved in teaching general and colorectal surgery trainees at all levels, as well as medical students from the University of Liverpool. He also mentors nurses undertaking the surgical assistant course and provides formal teaching and lectures to GPs in the Cheshire and Manchester area.
Mr Abdelrazeq undertakes medico-legal work within his areas of expertise, including general surgery, colorectal surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and abdominal trauma. His medico-legal practice includes personal injury and medical negligence cases, with an approximate case mix of 70% claimant, 20% defendant, and 10% single joint expert work. He has completed instructional courses in court compliance and medico-legal report writing for personal injury and clinical negligence claims. He understands his duty as an expert witness to the court in accordance with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules, is aware of the Jackson reforms, and fully appreciates the importance of cost control and adherence to court timetables.
