Claims Relating to Surgeries Performed by Mr. Dixon

Mr. Anthony (‘Tony’) Dixon is a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon based at North Bristol NHS Trust and Spire Bristol Hospital. Our solicitors are currently investigating concerns raised by a number of Mr. Dixon’s former patients about the care that they received in relation to STARR surgeries and ventral mesh rectopexy. If you have also suffered after treatment from Mr. Dixon, we may be able to help you too.

Our clients have told us a variety of concerns about their treatments, including:

Unacceptably high rates of complications, such as severe pain or incontinence
Unnecessary operations
Serious surgical treatments being used instead of less invasive alternatives
Inappropriate use of surgical mesh
Procedures carried out without their full informed consent

Anyone who has suffered due to negligent medical care can obtain compensation for their distress and to cover the costs of any ongoing health problems. If you have been affected by any of these issues or any others following treatment by Mr. Dixon, we may be able to help you make a compensation claim.

Our lawyers have extensive experience of dealing with group claims against surgeons including Mr. Paterson, Mr. Bhamra, Mr. Irvine and Mr. Arun. We are also involved with surgical mesh claims more generally and we are very familiar with the issues they can cause.

When you contact us, you’ll have a free initial consultation with one of our experts to learn more about making a claim. If you decide to go ahead, you may be eligible for a No Win No Fee agreement*, which means you won’t have to pay any legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a STARR treatment?

STARR stands for an operation called a stapled trans anal rectal resection.

STARR treatments are generally used to treat Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS), a type of chronic constipation caused by deformities in the rectum.

The patient is put under general anaesthetic and the operation is performed through the anus. It does not involve any other incisions. The surgeon uses a surgical stapler to remove the excess tissue in the rectum that is causing the ODS.

STARR is a relatively new treatment that is supposed to be less invasive than other alternatives, with a shorter recovery time and less pain after the surgery. However, some of our clients have experienced excessive pain and complications after receiving the treatment from Mr. Dixon.

If you have also experienced unexpected pain or complications following a STARR treatment from Mr. Dixon, contact us online to find out if you can make a compensation claim.

What is ventral mesh rectopexy?

The operation is used to repair internal or external rectal prolapses or treat Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).

The procedure involves keyhole abdominal surgery (laparoscopy) - a small camera is inserted through an incision near the belly button (umbilicus) which allows the surgeon to perform the surgery by looking at a monitor. During the operation, the surgeon fixes the rectum to its original position with a mesh.
