About

Mr Somaiah Aroori is a vastly experienced consultant general, laparoscopic, hepato-pancreato-biliary and transplant surgeon based in Plymouth. He is a specialist in laparoscopic surgical procedures involving the gallbladder, bile duct, liver, pancreas, and duodenum, abdominal wall and groin hernias. He chooses laparoscopic surgery due to it being less invasive, associated with less pain, offering faster recovery, and lower infection rates.

In 2011, Mr Aroori started his general, HPB, and renal transplant surgical consultant job at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. Since then he has been involved in over 1000 laparoscopic gallbladder operations (with no bile duct injuries) ~600 hernia operations, ~ 600 complex liver, pancreas, and bile duct operations for tumours, and several hundred other general surgical operations.

Mr Aroori is an active contributor in numerous research projects and medical investigations. He is the chief investigator for the multi-centre study called " RAW - Recurrence After Whipple" study and UK wide study called the ALICE study. He is an examiner for both MRCS and FRCS. He has developed and organised several surgically courses both for the postgraduate and consultant surgeons. He is honorary fellow of Plymouth University.
