His main love is teaching, and lectures extensively in the region at various conferences and educational symposia.

His special interest is Paediatric Urology, in particular , he is in charge of managing infants with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis. A new protocol was designed in 1995 to investigate these children and the results were published in the Eur J Paed-Surg, 1999, 9:303-6.

As the adjoining photograph shows, the end result is a completely scarless abdomen !
