About
Special interests
I am a proponent of minimal access surgery (of the ear and sinus) and will offer an external incision-free and local anaesthetic option wherever possible to minimise risk and inconvenience. Examples of special interest to which I apply such local anaesthetic or more minimal practice include:
- Ear Surgery: repairing perforated eardrums (tympanoplasty), bones of hearing (ossiculoplasty & stapes surgery/stapedecomy) and all more minor ear procedures
- Sinus Surgery: Balloon Sinuplasty (a minimally invasive treatment for sinus disease with longer term benefit in selected cases)
- Snoring surgery
- Balloon Sinuplasty (a minimally invasive treatment for sinus disease under local anaethesia)
- Coblation tonsillectomy (a technique of tonsillectomy aiming to reduce post-operative pain and bleeding risk)
- Pinnaplasty/ Otoplasty (cosmetic correction of prominent ears) incisionless in selected cases
- Rhinoplasty (for cosmesis or better breathing)
