About

Mr Allenby-Smith is a Consultant General Surgeon based at Poole NHS Hospital. He specialises in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and his main expertise are in treating gall stones, acid reflux and hernia surgery. Following his medical degree in Southampton, Mr Allenby-Smith focused his career around upper gastrointestinal surgery. 

He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2010 and started as a Consultant General and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon in Poole Hospital in 2011. He has set up a specialist clinic in Poole treating patients with acid reflux and heartburn. Often this may be treated with medications but he also offers a new endoscopic day-case treatment called Stretta. Other patients may benefit from fundoplication surgery to prevent their reflux. Mr Allenby-Smith performs a range of treatments for gallstones from endoscopic treatment (ERCP) to laparoscopic surgery to remove the gall bladder (cholecystectomy). He also has extensive experience in hernia surgery expending from keyhole surgical repair the major abdominal wall reconstructions.
