TRANSPLANTATION:
o To date I have performed over 650 renal transplantations. Over 383 of which is living donor transplant.
o For the year between July 2004 and August 2005, I was the sole substantive transplant surgeon in Portsmouth, performing both living donor and recipient surgery (16 pairs) with no complication.
o My interest in Transplant Surgery, which I have decided to pursue as a career, was stimulated soon after graduation from Medical School, where I joined a unit of renal transplant at Gothenburg, Sweden.
o After gaining a wide range of experience in all aspects of general surgery, I joined the Transplant Unit at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, as part of my rotation with the Northern Deanery Health Authority. Having spent twenty-six months in this position, I am confident in the management of renal transplantation and the provision of access surgery for end stage renal failure patients.
o I was involved in the harvesting of organs including kidneys, liver and pancreas. I was also involved in six pancreas transplants that were carried out at the Freeman Hospital.
o At Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, I also gained a wide range of experience in hepatobiliary surgery, as well as liver transplantation.
PAEDIATRIC RENAL TRANSPLANT:
Drawing on my experience at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, I have established a pediatric renal transplant for the first time in Sudan. To date I have done 14 cases.
RENAL TRANSPLANT PROGRAMME IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:
In response to a kind invitation from Sheikh Zayed Military Hospital in Abu Dhabi and in collaboration with Dr Saeed Elsheikh, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Dr Mustafa Kazim, Consultant Nephrologist, I have started adult and pediatrics renal transplant with 100% recipient, donor and graft survival to date.
RENAL TRANSPLANT PROGRAMME IN SUDAN AND NIGERIA:
Since January 2001, I have managed to establish a renal transplant service in Sudan and Nigeria, in four centres, during my annual leave. This is a charitable work, which involve laying down infrastructure, protocols, guidelines, training of local surgeons and relevant medical staff. It is a living donors program, and we have managed to perform over 250 transplants over the last 4 years that resulted in no major morbidity or mortality to the donors, with 89% functioning graft rate and 86% over all recipients’ survival.
ACCESS SURGERY:
I have done a wide range of Access Surgery, over 450 procedures, including, arterial venous fistula, deep-basilic vein transposition, PTFE access graft, bovine ureter access graft, close and open dialysis neck lines. I also work closely with the radiologists to deal with the complicated cases.
LAPROSCOPIC DONOR NEPHRECTOMY:
I believe Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy is the future for live donation, having done over 100 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, seen and assisted in 9 Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomies at Guy’s Hospital. I have just started a successful Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy in Sudan as part of the National programme which I have already started there.
RENAL AUTO-TRANSPLANTATION:
To date I have performed 6 renal auto-transplant, involving backbench excision of renal cell carcinoma, in collaboration with the urologist. One of the cases is Von Hubble Lido (VHL).
TOTAL PARATHYRIODECTOMY IN RENAL PATIENTS:
I have been actively providing this service to the renal patients in Portsmouth area (Catchments of 2 millions) since my employment in 2005 and continue to do so.
PANCREAS TRANSPLANTATION:
I was involved in whole Pancreas transplant and retrieval at Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, for 3 years and at Guy’s Hospital, London, for 1 year, involving both techniques of drainage in bowel and bladder and convergence at a latter stage.
PAEDIATRICS RENAL TRANSPLANTATION:
I worked very closely with Mr D.Talbot, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle and Mr Geoff Koffman at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where I have participated in a variety of paediatrics transplant. I have had the opportunity to perform the first paediatrics renal transplant in Sudan (living Donors), to date I have transplanted 6 children there.
NON-HEART BEATING RENAL TRANSPLANTATION:
I have a special interest in promoting non-heart beating donation and I worked very closely with Mr D.Talbot, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, on developing a NHB donor program for two years, and followed that by a period of clinical attachment with professor Kostra at Msrichit Teaching Hospital, Netherlands where they have a pioneering NHB program.
EN-BLOCK PAEDIATRIC RENAL TRANSPLANT:
I worked very closely with Mr D.Talbot, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, who has special interest in en-bloc renal transplantation. I was involved in 5 cases which gave me the opportunity to practise the technique of switching the blood vessels and transplanting the two kidneys en-block.
BREAST AND ENDOCRINE SURGERY:
Whilst working for two years at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, where there is a Regional Screening Centre for breast cancer, I was given the opportunity to investigate and manage a wide range of benign and malignant breast diseases.
Due to my training at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I am also confident and capable of managing and performing thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal gland surgery.
I also had further training in breast surgery for another two years at Sunderland Royal Hospital and South Tyneside District Hospital. In Portsmouth we treat average of 410 cases of breast cancer a year as a multidisciplinary team, in collaboration with plastic surgeons that perform the reconstructive surgery.
VASCULAR SURGERY:
Having worked with five Vascular Surgeons throughout my training, I am confident in investigating and managing patients with critical ischaemia. My experience in vascular exposure and graft anastamosis is considerable and I have the ability to undertake major vascular surgery including abdominal aortic aneurysm, both acute and elective. I have gained further experience in distal bypasses for limb salvage and also in the management of venous ulcers with four-layer bandaging.
SURGERY OF GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT:
I have had extensive training in both upper and lower G.I. surgery. I have learned and now wish to practice the benefit of a combined medical and surgical approach to gastro-intestinal disease, especially inflammatory bowel disease.
I found the surgical management of complicated gastro-intestinal conditions both stimulating and challenging. The management of oesophageal varices presents a major challenge, and my experience in this area is extensive due to my training overseas.
MINIMAL ACCESS SURGERY:
I was very fortunate to have worked in Ireland where laparoscopic surgery commenced as early as 1990. I assisted in more than 50 laparoscopic cholecystectomies and appendicectomies. I further extended my experience in the field by completing courses in Dundee, Scotland and Strasbourg, France and am confident in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomies, appendicectomies overectomy, and thoracic sympathectomies.
DAY CARE SURGERY:
I was employed as Surgical Registrar at South Tyneside District Hospital, which is one of the pioneer hospitals in day care surgery and, for the rest of my career I have been able to build on that experience.
TEACHING:
Throughout my career, I have been involved in the teaching of medical students, nurses and postgraduates. My teaching took the form of lectures, tutorials, seminars and journal clubs, which I found to be both a challenging and rewarding experience.
CLINICAL AUDIT:
I have actively contributed to Clinical Audit throughout my career.
CLINICAL GOVERNANCE:
Actively involved in the trust clinical governance.
