Mr Rajeev Peravali

Mr Rajeev Peravali is a highly-experienced consultant colorectal surgeon based in Birmingham who has to date performed well over 5000 major and minor surgeries. His areas of expertise include IBD, Crohn’s disease, gallstone surgery, rectal prolapse, bowel cancer, hernia and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.

In 2004, Mr Peravali graduated from the University of Birmingham and later underwent the highest level of training in general and colorectal surgery. Over his 15 years of training, he practised in some of the largest and most important surgical units in the UK, including University Hospital Birmingham, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and Cambridge University Hospital. When his training ended, he was selected for the prestigious John Goligher Fellowship in advanced coloproctology. During the fellowship, Mr Peravali further acquired highly specialised skills in laparoscopic surgery, bowel cancer surgery, surgery for inflammatory bowel disease and the management of functional problems of the pelvic floor, in particular, prolapse, constipation and faecal incontinence. Almost 90% of his major colorectal surgery is now performed laparoscopically.

Much of Mr Peravali's research on enhanced recovery after surgery has been presented and published both nationally and internationally and has also trained numerous junior surgeons and consultants in major keyhole colorectal resections. He is currently the lead inflammatory bowel disease surgeon at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust and practises privately at BMI The Edgbaston Hospital, Spire Little Aston Hospital and BMI The Priory Hospital.

Mr Peravali is available for appointments every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
