Abdul H Sultan is a Consultant Obstetrician and UroGynaecologist with a special interest in Pelvic Floor and Anal Sphincter Dysfunction at Croydon University Hospital, London and is Honorary Reader at the St George’s University of London. He completed his postgraduate training at St George’s Hospital with Professor Stuart Stanton. His research at St Mark’s and the Homerton Hospitals involved studying the effects of childbirth on the anal sphincters. This led to a landmark paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine and to a Doctorate. His pioneering work highlighted the deficiencies in training of doctors and midwives in detecting and repairing obstetric injuries to the anal sphincter.
He is the co-director of a tertiary referral urogynaecology Unit at Croydon University Hospital with subspecialty training and has an active research programme. He has over 250 publications in journals and textbook chapters. He has co-produced the first comprehensive textbook on perineal and anal sphincter trauma and just published the textbook on Pelvic Floor Disorders (2021). He is the co-director of the popular Perineal Trauma and Pelvic Floor Ultrasound courses since 2000. He has been awarded the prestigious overall “UK Hospital Doctor of the Year” award and is the recipient of the Croydon Medical Society Lifetime Achievement Award, the British Society of Urogynaecology Lifetime Achievement Award, and the RCOG Travelling Sims Black Professorship. In recognition of the education and training done in Ireland, he was awarded the Hon. FRCPI degree.
