Cutting Edge Technologies
I have performed minimally invasive thyroid/parathyroid surgery, laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomies.
I also have an interest in the use of surgical technology and, as such, have researched the use of intraoperative fluorescence in thyroid/parathyroid surgery.
I use a nerve monitoring system in all patients undergoing neck endocrine surgery and intraoperative parathyroid surgery where appropriate.
Publications
During my training I was an Academic Clinical Lecturer for the National Institute for Health Research. I have co-authored papers on multiple aspects of endocrine surgery and I continue to be actively engaged in research. Current projects include:
- Primary hyperparathyroidism in women of reproductive age
- Technology in endocrine surgery – the use of intra-operative fluorescence imaging and development of a transoral surgical program
