Skin Surgery
Skin cancer surgery
Specialist skin cancer surgery in London combining precise tumour removal with expert tissue reconstruction. Mr Theodore Nanidis provides comprehensive skin cancer surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
Skin cancer surgery requires both precise removal of the tumour and skilled reconstruction of the resulting defect — ensuring the best oncological outcome alongside the most natural cosmetic result. Mr Theodore Nanidis performs skin cancer surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital, one of the world's leading cancer centres, working closely with the dermatology and oncology teams to deliver seamless, comprehensive care.
Common skin cancers treated include basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma. Following surgical excision with appropriate margins, Mr Nanidis uses a range of reconstructive techniques — from direct closure and skin grafts to local and regional flaps — to restore both form and function with minimal scarring.
Every case is considered individually. Mr Nanidis will discuss your diagnosis, the planned excision and reconstruction options in detail at consultation, ensuring you are fully informed and confident before proceeding.
