Dr Phil Lockie - Bariatric Hernia and Upper GI Surgeon

Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgeon

MB BCh MPhil FRCSI(Gen) FRACS Upper GI, Bariatric, Laparoscopic Hernia Surgeon

I am an Australian and UK trained Upper GI and Laparoscopic surgeon. I was trained mainly in the UK before completing an Upper GI Fellowship at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney and this was followed by a Laparoscopic Surgical Fellowship in Canberra.

During my training, I completed a research thesis resulting in a Master of Philosophy Degree and I won the UK Intensive Care Society’s Travelling Fellowship that allowed me to visit trauma centres in Denver, Memphis and Seattle.

I was awarded my Fellowship from the Irish College of Surgeons in 1985 and I won the Gold Medal at the Intercollegiate Examination in General Surgery in February 2003. I was the first surgeon from Belfast ever to win the Gold Medal. I was awarded my Fellowship from the Australian College of Surgeons in 2006.

Robotic Laparoscopic Surgeon

I specialise in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery of the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract. I offer a comprehensive range of weight loss procedures, all performed laparoscopically. I am a member of the European Hernia Society and have a particular interest in the laparoscopic repair of groin and abdominal hernias.

In recent years I have developed expertise and gained qualifications in Robotic surgery as this offers better outcomes in many circumstances. I use robotic techniques in circumstances where greater precision is needed and faster recovery times are expected.

However it is not just surgical excellence which determines outcomes, as I believe that it is essential for weight loss surgery to be combined with a comprehensive dietary and psychological program, with ongoing support, that provides the best chance of success.

Practice Locations

I have my rooms at 615 Stafford Road, Stafford QLD 4053 . I also provide emergency cover to St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, Brisbane and St Andrew’s Private Hospital, Ipswich. I also consult at a number of locations,Ipswich,Brisbane CBD and North West Private.  I have conjoint qualifications in both upper and lower endoscopy and offer an open access endoscopy service in addition to consultation for upper GI disorders.
