Here is an anonymised letter to the GP of a patient of Mr Barsoum, Consultant Surgeon, who offers Rafaelo from Spire Parkway…

“I reviewed this pleasant gentleman in my clinic today 4 weeks following his Rafaelo procedure for recurrent haemorrhoids.  Mr XXXX is absolutely delighted with the outcome, he never took a single painkiller and he said that he wished he had met me and undergone this procedure before as he had had previous very bad experiences with a haemorrhoidectomy, banding and various procedures in the past.  He has had no bleeding, no itching or any other complication and today he was so well that he did not wish to be examined.  I have advised him strongly to avoid constipation and have discharged him back to your care.”

We are delighted that Benenden Hospital has become the latest to offer The Rafaelo Procedure with dedicated rectal bleed clinics starting in March. Look and listen out for their marketing campaign to launch on the Radio, on trains, at train stations, in a number of local newspapers and in their own magazine ‘Be Connected’. We look forward to supporting the launch.

With effect from 6th March, Mr Jack Broadhurst FRCS and Mr Tim Moore FRCS will be offering The Rafaelo Procedure from the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, Hampshire. Both colorectal surgeons were trained in the procedure at UCH in London under the expertise of Mr Richard Cohen FRCS and are now looking forward to introducing the technique, which is now being offered nationwide from Glasgow to Truro, to their patients who would otherwise may have faced a far more invasive operation to treat their Haemorrhoids.

This week, Rafaelo launched a poster campaign at a number of motorway service stations up and down the Country alerting haemorrhoid sufferers that there is an alternative to the horrors of haemorrhoidectomies and that they needn’t suffer any more.
