About Mr

Dr Jonathan Lippiatt is a Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at Poole Hospital where he has worked since 2015. His specialist areas include: Gynaecological cancers Abnormal smears Colposcopy Robotic Surgery and advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) procedures Ovarian cysts Ovarian cancer screening Menstrual disorders Pelvic Pain Prolapse surgery Endometriosis Risk-reducing surgery Dr Lippiatt trained at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff and subsequently became a Senior Registrar and then Clinical Lecturer at the university, before specialising in Gynaecological Oncology. During his first year as a consultant, Dr Lippiatt founded an advanced laparoscopy service to treat patients with endometrial and cervical cancer. In 2016, Dr Lippiatt was the first surgeon in Dorset to carry out a hysterectomy on a cancer patient using a new and advanced robot called the da Vinci robot. The robot allows for laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to be performed with great precision. This was the first time the fully integrated robotic surgery system had been used for this procedure in the United Kingdom and as a result of this technique, the patient recovered in a shorter time and with less pain than if they had undergone traditional gynaecological surgery. Dr Lippiatt has great involvement with research and has presented his work at a number of conferences around the world. He has publications in a number of gynaecological peer-reviewed journals, including his work in robotic gynaecological cancer surgery. He is currently the Principal Investigator for a surgical research trial called "Mirrors" looking at use of robotic assisted surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Dr Lippiatt is passionate about teaching and regularly has students from local schools, medical students from Southampton / St George's Medical School Grenada. He also is a reference site for robotic surgery with consultants visiting from UK and Europe. He regularly proctors both new surgeons and those looking to perform advanced robotic surgery around the UK and Europe. In addition to his professional life, Dr Lippiatt enjoys a variety of sports and spending time with his family.
