Research Interests.
My research interests include all aspects of Gastro Intestinal Surgery with
emphasis on Hepato-pancreaticoBillary surgery and Gastrointestinal
Endoscopy. My training in Glasgow has helped me further my research
interests in Theraputic Endoscopy. I have published papers involving
Endoscopic arrest of non-variceal bleeding and variceal banding and
cynoacrylate glue injection. I have also published papers on
Pulsionendosprothesis placement in cases of advanced carcinoma of the
oesophagus. I have set up the facility of minimal invasive surgery especially
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Laparascopic Appendectomy and now
carry out other minimal invasive surgery procedures especially Laparascopic
Colectomies, Abdomino-perineal resections adhesiolysis and assisted
laparascopic biliary bypass procedures.
I have tried to improve the care of patients at Kenyatta National Hospital and
improve the level of training of Senior House Officers in surgery so as to
keep them abreast with procedures practiced in rest of the world.
With a view to improving Gastro-intestinal Endoscopy training, have
assisted in setting up an endoscopy training unit at the PCEA hospital,
Kikuyu and the M.P. Shah hospital, Nairobi, and run training courses, in
addition to training surgeons in Endoscopy at the Kenyatta National
Hospital.
Recognising the need to train and accredit more surgeons, I have been a
founder member of the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern
-
48
Africa. The primary aim has been to improve the care of surgical patients at
the rural level in Kenya and the neighbouring countries in the region.
With my interest in Examinations, I have organized 4 seminars in 4 regional
countries, to improve examiner performances and produced guidelines on
objective Clinical and Viva examinations.
Recent interests include innovation of methods of training the present day
doctors in Surgery.
Have worked on introducing Modular training for learning the theory of
Basic Surgical Sciences, Essential, and Emergency Surgery and also
encouraged and supported the setting up of Skills labs at each of the
accredited hospitals in Kenya.
