Cutting-Edge Care
Specialising in Gallbladder, Liver, Hernia & General Surgery Across the North West of England
Consultant General and Hepatobiliary Surgeon
I'm Professor Robert Jones, a Consultant General and Hepatobiliary Surgeon specialising in diseases of the liver and gallbladder in the North West of England. I also specialise in the management of hernias. I provide the highest standard of surgical care and offer a fee assured service, recognised by all major health insurers.
My Expertise
I am a Consultant Hepatobiliary and General Surgeon and Professor of Surgery at Liverpool University Hospitals. As part of the Liverpool Hepatobiliary Unit, I perform over 60 major open and keyhole liver resections for cancer and over 150 laparoscopic gallbladder operations annually. In addition, I perform over 100 hernia surgeries every year
My General Surgery and Leadership Roles
My expertise includes General Surgery, where I manage various hernias (groin, incisional, abdominal wall) using both open and laparoscopic repair. I also serve as the Surgical Speciality Lead in advanced colorectal cancer for Bowel Cancer UK, focusing on improving complex cancer outcomes.
Conditions I Treat
I look after patients dealing with a wide array of liver and gallbladder conditions, including gallstone disease, liver cysts, and various cancers. I perform surgeries for a wide variety of hernias. My practice also involves helping patients with challenging abdominal tumours called sarcomas.
Referrals and Consultations
I primarily see patients referred by their GPs, as well as those who come through specialist referrals from other surgeons across the region. Furthermore, I am always happy to see patients who would like to contact me directly to discuss their needs.
Focused Surgical Excellence
My clinical practice is highly focused on a few key areas, ensuring you receive dedicated and expert care:
Gallstones
- Keyhole gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Management of complex gallstone disease, including stones that have become lodged in the bile duct
- Treatment for gallstone disease in patients who have undergone previous surgery
Hernias
- Management of abdominal wall hernias
- Inguinal hernias (keyhole and open surgery)
- Incisional hernias
- Umbilical and epigastric hernias
- Other rarer hernias (femoral, spigelian)

- Keyhole surgery for liver cysts (defenestration)
- Comprehensive assessment, investigation, and management of various liver lesions
Liver and Gallbladder Cancers
- Investigation, assessment, and management of primary liver cancers (hepatocellular cancer, gallbladder cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma), as well as disease that has spread (metastasised) to the liver
- Offering novel non-surgical treatments, including thermal ablation, where appropriate
Research & Innovation
My commitment to patient care is underpinned by my dedication to surgical innovation and research. I am the UK Chief Investigator for BNT-122, the UK’s first personalised mRNA cancer vaccine study looking at adjuvant vaccine treatment in resected colorectal cancer. I am the NIHR UK Research co-lead for the Cancer Vaccine Innovation Pathway.
