He has extensive experience in complex laparoscopic surgery including hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, adrenalectomies and nephrectomies (as well as partial nephrectomies). He works privately in London at London Bridge Hospital, The London Clinic, the London Welbeck Hospital and the Nuffield Highgate Hospital. He works as a substantive NHS consultant surgeon in vascular surgery, general surgery and kidney transplantation at Bart's Health NHS Trust.
Professor Hadjianastassiou graduated from the medical school of the globally-esteemed University of Oxford, where he subsequently also completed his doctoral thesis in abdominal aortic aneurysm risk stratification. He completed his specialist surgical training at the Oxford and London Deaneries and holds dual GMC accreditation in both vascular surgery and general surgery.
Professor Hadjianastassiou is an esteemed figure in surgery. He is currently serving as a member of the court of Examiners at the Royal College of Surgeons of England for the award of the MRCS title. He has served for two consecutive terms as a member of the Executive Council and the treasurer of the Division of Transplantation, of the European Board of Surgery (UEMS). He holds the academic title of full Clinical Professor of Surgery for the University of Nicosia in Cyprus. He is an editorial reviewer for peer-reviewed journals and he has published extensively in scientific literature.
Professor Hadjianastassiou's impressive career has also seen him work as the clinical lead for pancreas transplantation at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust where he was appointed consultant surgeon in 2008. Further to his clinical director role for the Republic of Cyprus' government transplant unit, he also served for two years as one of the two appointed experts in vascular surgery on the government’s advisory committee. Here, he introduced the first carotid endarterectomy under local anaesthesia, the first pancreatic organ transplant and the first laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. He pioneered the Cyprus blood group incompatible kidney transplantation and also did the first fenestrated EVAR for complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Prof. Hadjianastassiou has done major surgery for me, saving my life. I had cancer of my kidney extending into my main vein in the abdomen (the Vena Cava) and he managed to open the big vein and remove the cancer and the L kidney and I am still alive and well 8 years after! In keeping consistency with the other reviewers I found Prof to be an excellent professional but also a human being who cares for his patient. And not only that: his care about me is continuous, so after 8 years, now in 2024, he intervened after my request, and made all the necessary arrangements to have me operated successfully as soon as possible in order to to correct the stenosis of my right renal artery so that my remaining right kidney can be saved. I will be grateful to him as long as I live.

On19th of March 2024 Professor Vassilis Hadjianastassiou performed a procedure on the veins in my left leg. The results have been amazing. I no longer get any pain and I have started to go on long walks. My leg looks so much better aesthetically which makes such difference.

I came to Professor Hadjianastassiou for a second opinion. Thanks to him I realised that in my particular case the risks of intervention outweighed the benefits, and therefore decided not to treat my varicose veins. Highly recommend for thoroughness and honestly.
