Clinical Experience & Skills
I started as a consultant at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital in 2014 as a bariatric and resectional oesophago-gastric surgeon.
- Resectional Upper GI Surgery
My experience in resectional oesophago-gastric surgery includes open and hybrid two/ three – stage oesophagectomy, open and laparoscopic total and sub-total gastrectomy. Working closely with thoracic surgeons, I added left thoraco abdominal approach for oesophago-gastric malignancies and oesophageal perforations to my repertoire.
With newer procedures being described for bariatric surgery along with the exponential increase in the requirement for revisional and complex bariatric/ endoscopic surgery, I decided to discontinue resectional oesophago-gastric surgery in May 2019. - Benign Upper GI Surgery
I routinely perform Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication, LINX), hiatus hernia repair, Heller’s myotomy and Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. I provide a tertiary referral service for re-do/ revisional hiatal surgery. - Bariatric Surgery
I have performed over 2000 primary bariatric procedures including Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Roux en Y gastric bypass, One anastomosis gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. The BMI range for these procedures has extended upto 100 kg/m2 with weights exceeding 290 kg.
To add to this, I have performed over 250 revisional bariatric procedures for patients with one or two previous failed bariatric procedures. I also provide a tertiary referral service for patients who need to undergo revisional surgery following previous complications for bariatric surgery and - Upper GI Endoscopy
I continue to perform complex and therapeutic Upper GI endoscopy including stent insertion, dilatations and a limited number of EMRs. I also offer endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty as an endoscopic option for weight loss to minor sub-group of eligible patients.
