Welcome to Sussex Surgery
Sussex Surgery is an on-line medical educational resource created by Mr Etienne Moore, a consultant general surgeon working in Brighton and Sussex in the South East of England, UK.
Consultant Surgeon Profile by Mr Etienne Moore
My main professional interests are in keyhole laparoscopic surgery (hernias, gallbladders, bowel resections, adhesions), general surgery, skin surgery, colorectal (bowel and anus) surgery and endoscopy (colonoscopy and gastroscopy). You can click on the words or 'definitions' tab for further explanations.
I commonly investigate and treat people with skin lumps and bumps, rectal bleeding, hernias, gallstones, haemorrhoids, pilonidal disease, anal problems, bowel cancer, bowel polyps, abdominal pain and change in bowel habit.
I consult and operate regularly at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath) and the Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital in Woodingdean, North Brighton, East Sussex.
I also enjoy teaching and training doctors and allied health professionals and I participate in the education of medical students at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. I have been awarded the title of Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer.
Website Goals
In my day-to-day practice I discuss many different medical conditions with patients. I wanted to provide a free and easy way of revisiting this advice so I created www.sussexsurgery.com linked with www.brightonsurgeon.com and www.etiennemoore.com, which patients can read at their leisure.
I would like to offer this website to anyone searching for information about general surgery, hernia surgery, gallstone surgery, colorectal surgery, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, haemorrhoid surgery or laparoscopic, keyhole or minimal access surgery. Click on the word that you are interested in or the 'medical information' tab to gain access to the information that I regularly tell patients in my clinic. The medical information section contains advice about how patients can help themselves with anus, bowel and abdominal problems before resorting to a specialist consultation or medical intervention.
I have also created this website to provide easily accessible information for medical students and trainee doctors and surgeons. Students and trainee doctors and surgeons are welcome to browse this website and they should click on the 'trainee info' tab for relevant information. Click here for Mr Moore's firm timetable for medical students or his timetable for RSCH Foundation doctors or his timetable for PRH Foundation doctors or his timetable for Specialist Trainees or Trust Registrars.
