Robotics

Mr Tony Chalhoub is a highly skilled and dedicated gynaecological surgeon with extensive expertise in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. With a career committed to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, Mr Chalhoub has trained and mentored surgeons not only across the UK but also throughout Europe and the Middle East. His training programmes have reached surgeons in countries including Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Dubai, Lebanon, and Iraq, ensuring that the latest innovations in surgery are widely disseminated and adopted.

Carrying the UK flag as a pioneer in the field, Mr Chalhoub is known for his innovative approach to surgery and surgical education. A leading educator and sought-after international speaker, Mr Chalhoub has presented at numerous national and international conferences, sharing insights on the latest advancements in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. He has earned a reputation as a respected thought leader, shaping the future of surgical practice worldwide.

Driven by a passion for improving patient outcomes. Mr Chalhoub has continually pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in surgery, combining technical precision with a dedication to fostering the next generation of surgeons. His contributions as an educator and speaker have had a lasting impact on the global surgical community.

His work in developing new approaches to minimally invasive surgery—especially in robotics, myomectomies, and endometriosis—has set new global standards for gynaecological care. His passion for innovation, patient-centred care, and education ensures that his legacy will continue to impact the field for generations to come.

Now Post-CCT, I am undertaking a Robotic Fellowship at CEMIG London with Mr Shaheen Khazali, continuing to build on my passion for minimally invasive and robotic surgery. I believe robotics represents the future of complex benign gynaecological surgery, and I’m keen to be part of shaping how we train the next generation in this field.

As the BSGE Council Senior Trainee Representative, I continue to champion high-quality surgical education and engagement among trainees. During my time as the BSGE Regional Representative for KSS, I organised training days and courses to encourage hands-on learning and confidence in advanced laparoscopic skills.

My involvement with the BSGE Robotics Subcommittee has given me valuable insight into how we can develop structured, accessible robotic training pathways within benign gynaecology. I’m particularly enthusiastic about supporting the RCOG Robotic SITM and helping to integrate robotics more fully into mainstream surgical training.

I am also a member of the BSGE Endometriosis Centres Subcommittee and am actively involved in shaping the new BSGE database.

My focus remains on ensuring that trainees and new consultants have the tools, guidance and opportunities to excel — and that the BSGE continues to lead the way in advancing innovation and excellence in gynaecological surgery.

My professional journey has been guided by a deep commitment to minimally invasive gynaecological surgery and to improving the care of women with complex benign disease, particularly endometriosis. I have been fortunate to work with outstanding teams in the UK and across Europe, helping to develop specialist services and supporting colleagues managing challenging surgical cases.
I currently serve as President of the European Endometriosis League, a role that has reinforced for me the importance of collaboration, careful governance, and respectful dialogue when setting standards of care and training across different healthcare systems. One area especially close to my heart is education. Over the years, I have been actively involved in developing structured training pathways, including the EndoCare pathway for endometriosis, aimed at supporting surgeons through progressive, safe, and transparent skill development rather than isolated procedural exposure.
Alongside my clinical practice, I remain strongly committed to teaching, mentorship, and academic work, believing that the future of our specialty depends on nurturing confident, well-supported surgeons and multidisciplinary teams.
I hope to contribute to the BSGE Council with openness, experience, and a genuine desire to serve the Society and its members, while supporting the continued evolution of training, accreditation, and professional collaboration.
