    Student thesis: Doctoral Thesis

    Abstract

    This body of work presents the research and publications undertaken under a
    general theme of minimal access colorectal surgery. Papers are presented on
    surgery for colon cancer, rectal cancer, splenic flexure, emergency surgery,
    and complications after laparoscopic surgery, outcomes, training in minimal
    access surgery and robotic surgery.
    The work highlights my own personal contributions and publications under
    this theme, as well as collaborations and output emanating from multi-centre
    trials. Presentations include video, oral and poster presentations at national
    and international meetings.
    With my background experience of laparoscopic surgery, the focus has been
    on applications of laparoscopy for the management of colorectal cancer, role
    of laparoscopy in emergency settings, and complications of colorectal
    surgery. With a significant experience in robotics, I have shared the
    published data from management of rectal cancers and the techniques of
    single docking total mesorectal excision and flexure mobilization. A particular
    focus has been on teaching and training in minimal access surgery.
    My publication record comprises; pathfinder and seminal papers; papers from
    co-supervised MD/MSc; international collaborations; technical authorship and
    support; other published contributions; guideline development and technical
    reports and internal briefing papers.
