⬤ As a Urologist in the international arena, I am involved in evaluating cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology in endourology. This translates to the treatment I give my patients with an ethos which puts the patient at the centre of care. Patients entrusting their treatment to me and my team is our drive and motivation.
⬤ Improvement in surgery comes with repetition. This is why we get better the more we do and why high-volume surgeons tend to see better outcomes than low-volume surgeons. Surgery is performed by a team. The experience of the team confers advantages in terms of outcome for our patients.
