He specialised in General Surgery gaining Fellowship of Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) in 1995 followed by international post Fellowship experience in Upper Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Surgery at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
When laparoscopic hernia repair became feasible in the 1990’s (with the improvements in technology and techniques) this method gradually became the most popular way to repair inguinal hernias.
