Clinical interests
One of his clinical and scientific interests is using cryosurgery to treat endobronchial tumours. This pioneering method significantly improves quality of life and prolongs survival in patients with advanced lung cancer. This technology also allows healthcare professionals to avoid major surgery in patients with other forms of endobronchial tumours. He has a clinical interest in treating patients with complex thoracic surgical problems or with complications from previous surgery including reconstructive chest wall surgery after previous interventions for congenital and cardiac pathology.
