MR A S CHILVERS
Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon

Antony Chilvers was, until recently, senior surgeon at St Helier Hospital. He now practices exclusively at St Anthony’s Hospital, where he has worked ever since the new hospital first opened.

In 1989, he introduced laparoscopic general surgery into St Helier and St Anthony’s. He performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in both hospitals.

Having worked at the Mayo Clinic with Professor Code in the Department of Gastro-intestinal Physiology, he has a considerable interest in the treatment of hiatus hernia and, in particular, the laparoscopic correction of this condition.

He has performed over 4,000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies and 2,000 laparoscopic hernia repairs. His interests also include the laparoscopic repair of rectal prolapse.

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and excessive blushing can also be treated, in certain cases, by laparoscopic surgery and he has longstanding  experience in this field.
