Dr. Enrique CANELLES

General & Gastrointestinal Surgeon

Colorectal Surgery Specialist

Proctology Surgery Specialist

Thyroid Surgery Specialist

As a General and Gastrointestinal Surgeon with extensive experience in Colorectal Cancer Surgery, Complex Proctology and the surgical management of benign intestinal conditions, including complications of inflammatory bowel disease, my practice is centred on surgical precision, continuous professional development and close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the best possible recovery for every patient.

Education & Training

I graduated in Medicine from the University of Valencia in 2005 and completed my specialist training in General and Gastrointestinal Surgery through Spain’s national residency programme (MIR) at Hospital General Universitario de Valencia between 2006 and 2012. During this time, I gained extensive clinical and surgical experience, with a particular focus on complex colorectal and proctological conditions, peritoneal carcinomatosis and benign intestinal disease, as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Committed to continuous professional development, I completed a Master’s Degree in Advanced General and Gastrointestinal Surgery at Universidad Cardenal Herrera–CEU. My interest in broadening my expertise and offering patients a wider range of treatment options also led me to specialise in Aesthetic Medicine, completing a Master’s Degree in Aesthetic Medicine. This enables me to provide safe, personalised medical aesthetic treatments, with an emphasis on natural results and patient well-being.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am actively involved in specialist multidisciplinary teams within my hospital, including the Tumour Board and the Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Multidisciplinary Team. I also contribute to teaching and educational activities organised by a range of scientific and healthcare organisations.

I am a member of the Spanish Association of Surgeons and the Valencian Society of Surgery and remain firmly committed to continuing professional development and keeping up to date with advances in medicine and surgery.

My aim is to provide every patient with compassionate, honest and evidence-based care, helping them improve both their health and their confidence.

Continuing Professional Development

Ongoing professional development is an essential part of my practice. Staying at the forefront of advances in medicine and surgery allows me to provide my patients with care based on the latest evidence and techniques. My commitment to research and professional development is reflected in my academic and scientific work:

Over 80 presentations at national and international conferences.
More than 20 articles published in peer-reviewed journals, as well as contributions to several book chapters.
Participation in over 100 national and international medical courses and conferences.

I am committed to bringing the latest advances in medical knowledge into my everyday practice, ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care.

Surgical Excellence, Compassionate Care.

For me, surgical excellence goes beyond technical precision. It means understanding each patient as an individual, earning their trust and guiding them through every stage of their care. My goal is to combine surgical expertise with a personal, thoughtful approach, delivering tailored treatment focused on the best possible outcomes and quality of life.
