He has a wealth of experience, spanning more than fifteen years, in this highly-specialised field. His expertise covers surgical, medical, hormonal, psychological and academic aspects of male health.
He is one of the leading experts in infertility & contraception, Peyronies Disease, Erectile Dysfunction and male Hypogonadism. He performs a large number of highly specialised procedures including microsurgical sperm retrieval, microsurgical reconstruction for obstructive azoospermia, vasectomy reversal, microsurgical vaso-vasostomy, microsurgical epididymo-vasostomy, microsurgical varicocelectomy, inflatable penile prosthesis, penile grafting and plication procedures and microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord for chronic scrotal pain.
Furthermore, he is part of a team that is exploring the therapeutic effects of Botox (botulinum toxin) on erectile dysfunction and has very recently presented the results of a pioneering pilot study in this exciting field at the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) congress in Beijing May ’16 and at the American Sexual Medicine Society (SMSNA) congress in Scottsdale, Arizona Nov ’16. This is a newly proposed medical solution that may completely change how men with erectile dysfunction are treated.
