Mr Massimo Garriboli

I graduated in 2003 at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan with Distinction cum laude.

I then trained in Paediatric Surgery and Paediatric Urology at the Università degli Studi di Milano and completed my training in 2009 with Distinction cum laude having written a thesis on Exstrophy Epispadias complex.

During the training I worked in several hospitals in Milan, as well as spending a year in Madrid, Spain, at the Hospital Universitario La Paz.

When I was in Madrid working with Prof. Jaureguizar’s team and during the last year of my surgical training in Milan with Prof. Riccipetitoni I decided to become a paediatric urologist.

I then moved to the United Kingdom and started working at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.

During my 2-year Fellowship in the Urology department at GOSH I had the opportunity to to improve my knowledge and skills in paediatric Urology.

In 2013 I was appointed Locum Consultant Paediatric Urologist at St George’s Healthcare Foundation Trust and at Epsom and St Helier University Hospital.

In March 2014 I was appointed as Substantive Consultant Paediatric Urologist at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Guy’s and St. Thomas NHS Foundation.

During the last 5 years I have dedicated to developing various services within my Unit.

In particular:

• I am in charge of the Posterior Urethral Valves service (we look after more than 300 children);
• I have developed the minimally invasive surgery (I have performed more than 250 laparoscopic procedures, including nephrectomy, heminephrectomy, pyeloplasty, correction of varicocele, bladder surgery, undescended testis);
• I have set up an hypospadias clinic and operated on distal and complex hypospadias including re-do surgery with more than 300 cases treated;
• I am in charge of the antenatal counselling and perinatal clinic;
• I treat complex bladder dysfunction including neuropathic bladders and pre- and post-transplant bladder reconstruction;
• I established and am in charge of the academic and clinical research programme

As a consultant at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, I play an active part in the teaching of paediatric surgery and urology trainees. In addition, I supervise medical students from European Universities within the Erasmus scheme (about 5 per year).

I am permanent faculty of VIVA courses run by my department for trainees who are preparing for their exit exam in paediatric surgery and adult urology.

I am a Teacher/Consultant for Laborie courses and webinars.

In 2020 and 2021 I organised the 1st and 2nd Posterior Urethral Valves Study Days that had more than 150 registered attendees each

In June 2022 I have obtained the endorsement from the European Board of Paediatric Urology to be Program Director of a Paediatric Urology Fellowship program (Evelina London Children’s Hospital)
