Through Gastro and Endocrine Surgery we pride ourselves in combining patient centred care with a comprehensive specialist surgical service.
Mr Christopher Wong is a Consultant Gastrointestinal & Endocrine Surgeon with his NHS practice based in Bristol. He has over 10 years experience of advanced laparoscopic surgery and treatment of endocrine conditions.
Clinics are held within the Wales and West areas at Bristol and Cardiff.
Services include treatment for gallstones, jaundice, heartburn/reflux disease, hernia, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal diseases; weight loss surgery including gastric band, gastric bypass & sleeve gastrectomy. We are proud to announce the introduction of the latest keyhole surgery Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) surgical treatment for gallstones and weight loss surgery.
I trained in general surgery at Cardiff, Bristol and in the South West where I developed a specialist interest in gastrointestinal and endocrine surgery.
I have been a proponent of pioneering advanced techniques and procedures in laparoscopic minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal and endocrine diseases. SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery), a new cutting edge laparoscopic technique has been introduced for gallstones and gastric band surgery.
Under the guidance of the late Professor Farndon, I was awarded a PhD for my research in endocrine disease.
I have received many prestigious grants and have several book chapters on the management of thyroid diseases in major surgical textbooks and surgical journals. After my research I returned to Cardiff and underwent further specialist training in endocrine surgery encompassing complicated thyroid diseases (benign, cancer and re-do surgery), parathyroidectomy and adrenal (laparoscopic) surgery as well as rare islet pancreatic tumours.
I provide a comprehensive surgical service with specialist treatment for gallstones including advance laparoscopic treatment for stones in the bile duct, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, obesity, splenectomy and hernia. Also I am one of a handful of UK specialists who provides surgical care for the full spectrum of endocrine surgical diseases especially in complicated and re-do neck surgery.
I have four boys, one beautiful daughter and a King Charles Spaniel. I was forced into early retirement from windsurfing due to the arrival of my children. Luckily, in between the nappy changes, I managed to smuggle my skis to safety and transplanted them to my children. To occupy myself between skiing and dreaming about the slopes, I keep a very close eye on rugby, grand prix and the highs and lows of British tennis.
