Biography: 

A conscientious and reliable General Surgeon with an interest in Colorectal and Laparoscopic Surgery, currently employed at the King’s College Hospital NHS Trust, Princess Royal University Hospital, UK, in the capacity of Senior Fellow in the Colorectal Surgery Unit.

My career has spanned 9 years of structured postgraduate training and work, at prestigious institutions in Egypt, Oman and the UK, encountering several excellent consultants and staff with variable backgrounds and experiences, which has equipped me with the necessary broad knowledge and skills base needed for me to be confident and safe in my daily practice involving patient interactions, clinical decision making and surgical procedures.

I was very fortunate to be accepted into the Oman Medical Specialty Board - General Surgery Residency Programme (ACGME-I accredited, 5 year structured programme), considering it is very competitive to get into.

During this period, my work has involved daily ward rounds, running outpatient clinics, performing and assisting in a wide range of emergency and elective surgical operations, as well as teaching and supervision of Medical Students and Junior Staff.

Among the privileges that were bestowed upon me, were the Best Resident Award, the Executive Chief Resident Post and Resident representative in the ACGME-I Accreditation process which we successfully achieved in June 2016.

I have developed interest and experience in General Laparoscopic and Colorectal Surgery which have been a focus of my work for the past 2-3 years while I worked in a very busy Colorectal Surgery Unit.

I currently perform a variety of Colorectal procedures independently or under supervision, including Laparoscopic Right, Left and Total(mainly for FAP) Colectomies, Anterior Resections, Lap TMEs and Abdomino- Perineal Resections(2 teams), Perineal Rectal Prolapse procedures in addition to common Proctology and General surgeries (with an interest in minimally invasive hernia repairs).
