Some abdominal cases sit outside the comfort zone of a routine private practice. Patients with previous surgery, larger BMI, complex anatomy, or a complicated diagnostic picture often find themselves in limbo, told to wait, or referred between services.
This practice exists for those cases. Transplant-level training across the full hepatobiliary spectrum means the harder operations are not the exception, they are the norm.
Mr Shahid Farid is a Consultant Hepatobiliary and Liver Transplant Surgeon at St James's University Hospital, one of seven adult liver transplant centres in the UK. He has performed a high volume of gallbladder, liver, and complex hepatobiliary surgery, and provides a regional service for hospitals across Yorkshire for the cases that require senior input.
His private practice at Spire Leeds Hospital exists to bring that same consultant-level surgery to patients who choose to be seen and treated privately, without compromise on technique, decision-making, or aftercare.
