Professional Biography
Professor Muntzer Mughal is a general surgeon specialising in upper gastrointestinal surgery at King Edward VII's Hospital. He has over 30 years’ experience in the treatment of cancer of the stomach and oesophagus, acid reflux, hiatus hernia and a wide range of general surgical conditions such as gallstones and hernias. He also specialises in thyroid surgery. {{ label }}
He has consistently achieved excellent outcomes in surgery for cancer of the stomach and oesophagus, as reported in the annual National Oesophagogastric Cancer Audit.
He is a leader in the treatment of complications and failures of upper gastrointestinal surgery. This includes recurrent acid reflux and hiatus hernia, complications of weight loss surgery and oesophageal reconstruction for rare and catastrophic conditions such as tracheo-oesophageal fistula. This is a particularly challenging area of practice and he has developed a multidisciplinary approach, resulting in improved outcomes.
Throughout his career, Professor Mughal has been involved in teaching and training and has carried out research on acid reflux and cancer of the stomach and oesophagus. He is currently also the Clinical Lead for the North and Central London Cancer Alliance, leading on early diagnosis and better outcomes of patients with cancer. He has held a number of advisory posts at the national level including bodies such as the Association of Upper GI Surgeons, NICE, NIHR and the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
