Mr Shaheen Khazali

Professional statement

Mr Shaheen Khazali is a highly regarded consultant gynaecologist and minimally invasive surgeon based in London who specialises in benign gynaecological conditions, including heavy periods, ovarian cysts, and (chronic) pelvic pain. As a specialist, he has particular expertise in the management of severe endometriosis when the condition has affected nearby organs such as the bowel, bladders, and ureters.

Mr Khazali, who consults privately at The Lister Hospital, originally qualified from the University of Tehran in 2001. He trained in London and Cambridge, and undertook higher specialist training at the prestigious John Radcliff Hospital in Oxford, before relocating to the south of England to accomplish further training in Poole, Southampton, and Winchester.

Notably, Mr Khazali is one of Europe’s few surgeons with formal training in Neuropelveology, a rising discipline in gynaecology which focuses on pathologies of the pelvic nervous system, enabling Mr Khazali to provide treatment for patients whose pelvic nerves are affected by endometriosis. Mr Khazali is also a prominent expert in advanced robotic (with the da Vinci Xi robot) and laparoscopic surgery, and performs almost the entirety of his diagnostic and treatment procedures exclusively with a minimally invasive approach.

Additional to his private practice, Mr Khazali is a consultant at the renowned Centre for Endometriosis and Minimally Invasive Gynaecology and at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust since 2011. He holds an MSc from the University of Surrey in advanced gynaecological endoscopy, as well as a postgraduate certificate from the University of Dundee, and currently holds an honorary senior lecturer position at Royal Holloway University of London.
