I have just had keyhole surgery at the spire in Cheshire preformed by top surgeon professor Aali Sheen. From my first appointment with Professor Sheen i felt at ease. He came across to me as a real down to earth guy, clearly informing me on the proceedure which was keyhole surgery to repair the hernia in my groin that i had suffered with for around 4 years. Six week on from the operation and i am back to normal out hillwalking at the weekends and not being in pain as i was in the past. I can't thank Professor Sheen enough for his professionalism, skill and care. I would highly recomend. Kind Regards P A King.

I had a left inguinal hernia repair laparoscopically performed under general anaesthetic by Prof. Aali Sheen at the Fortius Clinic in London. My lasting impression of Prof. Sheen will be of a surgeon with the ability to listen, allay fears, professionalism, compassion and above all an incredible skill at what he does I experienced very little post operative discomfort and only a little pain when getting out of bed. Nothing that OTC analgesics did not handle. This subsided with no further pain or discomfort after 3 or 4 days and has not recurred. I can not thank Prof.Sheen enough and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him as a first rate surgeon. JL

Professor Sheen is a fantastic surgeon. He is one of the World's top keyhole hernia surgeons, sitting on the council of the UK hernia society and operating on many elite athletes including Premiership footballers. As a doctor myself I was able to perform extensive research into who was best placed to perform my surgery. I chose Professor Sheen not only for his hernia expertise but also because his day job involves incredibly complex cancer cases at which he is a nationally leading surgeon. The mix of expertise in hernias combined with the ability to routinely tackle incredibly complex cases made him perfect to perform my surgery. Upon meeting him I was completely comfortable I had made the right choice. He is a genuine and reassuring man who I would recommend to anyone.

I am a 67 yo male who is fairly fit and a keen golfer and my GP recently diagnosed me with bilateral inguinal hernias.The NHS waiting time was 7 months so having done some research I made an appointment to see Prof Sheen 2 weeks after my diagnosis. At the consultation he confirmed my GP findings and recommended laparoscopic surgery which he discussed fully with me and we agreed to schedule the surgery in 2 weeks time. I attended BMI Alexandra Hospital arriving about 7.30 am and was back home after a successful operation by 6 pm the same evening. I experienced very little pain/discomfort after the surgery and was able to get around home with only the odd paracetamol for the first couple of days and after that needed no pain relief at all. At the beginning of the second week I began outdoor walking which I built up gradually until I was doing 4-6 miles a day during week 4. I had a further consultation with Prof Sheen early in week 5 and he confirmed during the procedure discovered I had indirect hernias on both sides as well as a direct hernia on the left and a femoral hernia on the right all of which he successfully repaired. Prof Sheen informed me at my original consultation that I should be able to start golfing again in 4/5 weeks and this turned out to be correct - I am now 7 weeks after surgery and back to playing 3 times a week with no discomfort !! I would like to thank Prof Sheen and all the Staff at BMI for the way I was treated and have no hesitation in recommended him for this type of surgery which he is obviously very skilled at performing.

I had my surgery in September 2018 and wanted to wait to review to make sure everything is healed and give a more mid-term outcome. I was diagnosed with ACNES in 2013 and have been having injections every 3 – 6 months at pain management clinic. After 5 years the injections were no longer effective and I needed surgery. I found Professor Sheen whilst searching for a surgeon that would do Abdominal Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES) surgery. Having approached many surgeons in my area , none had heard of the condition let alone would consider operating. I first emailed his secretary who emailed back very quickly to tell me that yes he did treat ACNES patients. I made an appointment at BMI Alexandra. I was called in for my appointment a few minutes early and immediately felt welcome by Professor Sheen. We went through my history and, after a quick abdominal examination and questionnaire, he was confident that I did have ACNES and that surgery would potentially help (no surgery is guaranteed!) I decided to go to BMI Alexandra for this as it was more convenient and I wanted the surgery as soon as possible. I organised a date via Professor Sheen's secretary Arriving at BMI hospital I was greeted and taken to my room for the day. Professor Sheen and his anaesthetic team came to greet me and go through the operation and other checks. Waking up from the operation (I have had 5 previous abdominal operations) the pain was minimal. I believe he used local anaesthetic in and around the wound which made a massive difference. Within an hour I was able to have a drink and then later on was able to get up out of bed. Glue was used on the outer wound and this healed amazingly well and was incredibly neat. I returned to work two weeks later. I felt the benefit of the surgery a few weeks later once the wound itself had healed and inflammation had gone down. I returned to see Professor Sheen post operatively and we discussed that the surgery was successful at that time. So, six months after the operation I can still say the surgery has worked really well. My pain has reduced a lot and I am so glad I had the surgery. I get the occasional twinge of discomfort from the tissue but it doesn't require any pain medication or intervention. My scar has faded and isn't really noticeable unless looking for it! ACNES seems to be a difficult condition to treat and I am forever thankful to Professor Sheen and his team for helping me!
