Professional statement

Mr Dominic Coull is a leading consultant laparoscopic general and colorectal surgeon whose main specialty is hernia surgery. He is based in Reading and is an examiner for The Royal College of Surgeons. Mr Coull's areas of expertise further lie in minimally-invasive hernia surgery, modern minimally-invasive management of haemorrhoids and colonoscopy alongside laparoscopic colorectal surgery, colorectal cancer and investigation of rectal bleeding. Mr Coull also specialises in altered bowel habits (diarrhoea, constipation), ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease as well as pilonidal sinus surgery, anal fistula and anal fissure treatment and skin lesion removal.

He qualified in 1995 from the University of London and obtained a subsequent Masters of Surgery degree in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. After further training, he obtained a prestigious laparoscopic surgical fellowship in colorectal and general surgery jointly at two world-renowned surgical units in Basingstoke and Frimley, before being appointed as a consultant at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Here, he initiated the provision of laparoscopic TEP hernia repairs and laparoscopic colorectal surgery there.

Mr Coull has acquired a vast amount of training and experience in his field and is considered an expert in laparoscopic surgery across Europe. Alongside his consultancy work, he is on the teaching faculty to train other European consultants at surgical training facilities in Paris, Hamburg and the UK.

He currently practices privately at the Circle Reading Hospital and Spire Dunedin Hospital. He prides himself on delivering first-rate, reassuring and honest consultations with his patients to support and guide them through their surgical procedures.

His average length of stay for patients following colorectal cancer surgery is three days contrasted with the national average of eight days. Additionally, his successful colonoscopy completion rate stands at 99 per cent - well above the national requirement of 90 per cent.
