About Mr Michael Wilson

Mr Michael Wilson is a Consultant General and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon with extensive experience in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. He specialises in gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Practising privately at Dundee Outpatient Centre and Kings Park Hospital in Stirling, he also serves as the Clinical Lead for General Surgery at NHS Forth Valley. Additionally, Mr Wilson holds a visiting position as a Major Trauma Surgeon at St Mary’s Hospital Major Trauma Centre, part of the Imperial College Healthcare Trust in London.

Mr Wilson is highly regarded for his expertise in laparoscopic gallbladder removal, often sought out by patients requiring swift and effective treatment for gallbladder-related conditions. His skill in hernia surgery includes both groin and abdominal wall hernias, and as the lead for the complex hernia regional multidisciplinary team, he offers advanced surgical techniques such as abdominal wall reconstruction supported by botulinum toxin injections. He is also experienced in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, diagnosing and treating conditions such as acid reflux, non-cardiac chest pain, swallowing difficulties, and stomach pain. His training in anti-reflux surgery places him among a select number of surgeons in Scotland able to provide surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia.

Committed to holistic patient care, Mr Wilson believes in treating the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on the surgical condition. He works closely with a multidisciplinary team that includes nurses, radiologists, anaesthetists and physiotherapists to ensure each patient receives comprehensive care before, during and after surgery. He also provides guidance on lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and weight management, helping patients reduce their peri-operative risks and improve their long-term recovery and wellbeing.

Mr Wilson is a strong advocate for research and innovation in surgery. He actively contributes to high-impact studies and promotes the involvement of patients in shaping future healthcare services. His research work plays a role in developing national clinical guidelines, refining surgical procedures, and improving overall standards in general and gastrointestinal surgery. He is also known for his inclusive care of patients with higher body mass index, tailoring his surgical approach to their specific needs and offering guidance to support their health both before and after surgery.

In addition to his clinical practice, Mr Wilson is deeply involved in surgical education and mentorship. He is a faculty member of the Definitive Surgical Trauma Skills course, a consultant appraiser, and a contributing member of national surgical organisations such as the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Benign Upper Gastrointestinal Surgical Society. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers.

Mr Wilson also serves in the Royal Navy Reserves as a Consultant Surgeon within the Healthcare & Medical specialisation, where he holds the role of SO1 Medical Officers. He is currently the only consultant general surgeon in the Royal Navy Reserves, providing specialist care in military settings and contributing to the medical readiness of UK service personnel.

Hernia repair. Excellent communication skills addressed my wife's concerns and put me at ease. His team includes a first class anaesthetist and along with the staff at Nuffield made for a successful evening with a discharge eight hours after arrival. Almost no bruising and was back at my desk the following day with minor irritation. 5 out of 5 would use again.

I recently underwent bilateral inguinal hernia surgery under Mr Micheal Wilson and I’m very grateful for the care I received throughout the process. From the initial consultation through to discharge, he was professional, approachable, and took the time to explain the procedure, recovery expectations, and answer any concerns clearly. The surgery itself went smoothly and I felt confident I was in safe hands at every stage. During follow-up appointments he was thorough, reassuring, and genuinely interested in my recovery progress. For anyone considering treatment, I would say that clear communication and knowing what to expect made a big difference to me personally. Recovery can take time and patience, but having a consultant who is calm, knowledgeable, and supportive helps greatly. I would happily recommend to others requiring hernia surgery.

From my first consultation, Mr Wilson was friendly, approachable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He made me feel completely at ease and gave me real confidence and positivity about the procedure. His calm and reassuring manner helped ease my nerves, and I felt very well looked after throughout the whole experience.
