Technique of bringing testis through scrotumKey publications

- A paper on the technique of bringing a testis down through the scrotum itself, published in Urology, 1997, 49: 762.  (As the photograph  below shows, it is possible to mobilise some testes through the scrotum itself thus avoiding any scar on the abdomen. See paper published by me on this subject in Urology 1997, 49: 662-5.).

- An editorial published on hernias in children in Acta Paediatrica, 2001, 90:1-3.

- A new technique of umbilical pyloromyotomy described by me in Eur J Paed- Surg, 1998, 8 :81. The end result is a completely scarless abdomen as seen in the adjoining photograph.Technique of umbilical pyloromyotomy

PERSONAL PROFILE

I am married and a father of two young children, I have lived for several years in London. I used to have several interests before the children came along ; but now barely have time for a weekly swim. I like bird watching and simply love to play chess. In particular, after the children have been put to bed at night, I like to play live chess on the internet for an hour or two. The private practice helps to pay for the burgeoning internet phone bills !
