About me

I qualified in Medicine with an MBChB from the University of Baghdad. Following that I moved to the UK and finished my basic surgical training. During this period I obtained the surgical membership of the three UK Royal Colleges. I started my clinical research training in Leeds where I was awarded a Royal College of Surgeons Research Fellowship in 2005 and a Medical Research Council Clinical Training Fellowship in 2006 to carry out a research in genetic engineering of a human gut bacterium. The research period was productive and I have published and presented widely. My research project was the runner up for the Times Higher Education (THE) award in 2007. I was awarded a PhD in 2009 and Hunterian Professorship from the RCS (Eng.) in 2011. I have published more than 20 reseach articles in peer-reviewed journals, and collaborated with distiguished research experts from other UK and international institutes. Since 2005, I have obtained a firm grounding in HPB benign and cancer surgical practice as well as liver transplant surgery. I have special interest in laparoscopic liver and pancreatic resections. I have gained experience in laparoscopic CBD exploration and I have developed an interest in the management of difficult biliary stone disease. I am experienced in ERCP and have the foundation for EUS.
I attended the world renowned cancer centre, MSKCC, in New York as a visiting fellow.
During the last three years I was practicing as Consultant in HPB, Endoscopic and General surgery. I am responsible to look after patients with complex liver and pancreatic benign and malignant disease.
I believe in Innovation in surgery. This was reflected in my research work that led to the invention of a novel drug delivery system.
I strive to achieve high standards in clinical and academic goals.
Most of my liver and pancreatic cancer surgeries are done via keyhole approach.
