Career Aims:
I have major experience in the full range of obstretics and gynaecology. For the past few years, my main interest is endoscopic surgery, as I believe it has led gynaecology to a different level. For that reason, my goal is to work in a minimal access unit with a team determined to continuously improve and keep up with the rapidly and ever expanding process in laparoscopic surgery, and pass the knowledge to colleagues who share the same passion for this subspeciality
