Clinical activities and interests/research

I was appointed Consultant Maxillofacial/Head & Neck Reconstructive Surgeon at UCLH in 2002. I have a sub-specialty interest in facial and oral oncology and microvascular reconstruction. My clinical practice also includes surgical treatment of salivary gland neoplasm's, as well as thyroid surgery.

My main clinical research interests are the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in the management of advanced head and neck cancer, and the functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the head and neck with flap reconstruction.

I perform 50 to 60 free flaps per annum, including the whole spectrum of perforator (ALT, TAP, PAP) and bony flaps (DCIA, scapula, fistula) as well as their combinations.

I am particularly keen on the surgical treatment of advanced head and neck sarcomas, and the real challenge that they pose from a reconstructive point of view.
