4. Experience:
A. HEPATOBILIARY SURGERY AND ORGAN
TRANSPLANTATION:
My present assignment involves leadership role in establishing the super
specialty of Hepatobiliary surgery and organ transplantation at PIMS.
It entails putting in place the necessary infrastructure, arranging human
resource and providing facilities for the advanced surgical and critical care of
the patients with complex disorders of liver, bile ducts, gall bladder, pancreas
and portal venous system, and those undergoing kidney and liver
transplantation.
l. Hepatobiliary Surgery
Since 2007, when our unit at PIMS took up the super specialty of
hepatobiliary surgery, the major case load of our unit had been related to the
surgical disorders of liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen and portal
venous system. I thus have been regularly performing hepatectomies,
segmental resections of liver, bile duct reconstructions, pancreatectomies and
portosystemic shunts. In addition are the routine procedures like laparoscopic
& open cholecystectomies, spleenectomies, and drainage of liver abscesses,
excision of choledochal & liver cysts, and management of liver trauma. I am
also involved in the preoperative assessment of potential candidates for liver
transplantation, of living donors, and long term care of patients who have had
liver transplant abroad and are back in Pakistan.
II. Kidney Transplantation:
I have vast experience in kidney transplantation, within and outside the
country. I have participated in over 500 kidney transplants in the last eight
years. At Guys Hospital, London, I participated in about fifty kidney
transplants and donor Nephrectomy, twenty five of which were performed
laparoscopic ally. The rest of the transplants have been done by me at PIMS
and private facilities. I also attended kidney transplants session at Samsung
Medical Center, Seoul and Royal Free Hospital, London during my recent visit
to these centers. Currently, I am the Head of the surgical team conducting
kidney Transplantation at PIMS.
III. Liver Transplantation:
At Kings College Hospital, London, I have participated in about 80 liver
transplants which include deceased and living donor liver transplants. It
included, conventional and piggy-back whole liver transplant, reduced liver,
split liver and auxiliary transplants. Amongst the living donor transplants are
left lateral segment, right lobe and left lobe transplants. I also have exposure to
the pediatric liver transplantation.
I have played a pivotal role in lying down the foundation of the liver transplant
program at PIMS. As part of the pilot project, we did first ever living donor
liver transplant at PIMS in May 2012.
My recent visits to liver transplant units of Royal Free Hospital, UK and
Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, further my experience in liver
transplantation.

5. IV. Pancreatic Transplantation:
I have participated in ten pancreatic transplants at Guys Hospital London.
Technically, eight were with urinary bladder drainage and two with enteric
drainage.
V. Organ Retrieval Surgery:
Along with the living donor nephrectomies and hepatectomies mentioned
above, I am well versed with the over all management of deceased donors and
the operative technique of retrieving livers, kidneys and pancreas. I have also
participated in retrieval surgery on non-heart beating donors.
B. GENERAL SURGERY:
I have been dealing deals with a wide variety of routine and complex elective
and emergency surgical problems related to GIT, endocrines, breast, soft
tissues, peripheral vessels and thorax. The disorders include difficult
malignancies, uncontrolled surgical infections, large fascial defects, organ
ischaemias, and polytrauma. Procedures such as mastectomies, colectomies,
abdominoperineal resections, gastrectomies, thyroidectomies, radical
excisions of soft tissue tumors, block dissections, esophageal resections and
reconstructions; have been frequently performed by me of under my
supervision. In our unit, on a typical elective list, about three forth of the
operations performed have been the major ones. Amongst the emergencies,
non- traumatic abdominal emergencies have been the commonest, followed by
abdominal and chest trauma, the latter two mostly due to roadside accidents
and civilian violence. At least half of our admitted cases have been acutely ill.
The unit also has had the experience of mass disaster management on quite a
few occasions; it managed many war and bomb blast casualties during the war
in Afghanistan.
Working as Assistant Professor General Surgery at the Postgraduate Medical
Institute (PGMI) Lahore with its attached tertiary care hospitals also widened
my experience in the management of routine and complex general surgery
cases of the types mentioned above.
C. MINIMALLY ACCESS SURGERY.
I am well experienced in routine and advanced laparoscopic surgery, for
which I have attended many workshops and training programs. I have
performed over five hundred laproscopic cholecystectomies. I have also
performed laparoscopic bile duct explorations, adhenolysis, appendisectomies,
hernia repairs, hemicolectomies, abdominoperineal resections and rectopexies.
Pre
Fellowship
Training:
I started my residency in pediatric surgery at Nishtar Hospital, Multan, under
Prof Abdul Hameed FRCS. It lasted for one year. It involved learning the
basic principles of surgery and management of children of twelve years and
below with surgical problems. It covered their pre & postoperative care, fluid,
electrolyte & nutritional balance, venous access, esophageal, endotracheal&
chest intubations, lumber puncture, urethral catheterization, dressings,
applying bandages & casts, and critical care & cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
I also learned to perform procedures like

6. circumcision, incision drainage of abscess, wound debridement, and suturing
of lacerations. I was also trained in procedures like herniotomy, cut back for
imperforate anus, and vesicolithotomy. I also assisted operations like
myotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, trans anal pull through,
operations for oesophagel /billiary atresias, hypospadias repair,
ureterosigmoidostomy, soft tissue release for TEV, tendon release/transfer,
repair of cleft lip/palate, orchidopexy, and excision of meningocele.
My next residency was in ICU/CCU, Rawalpindi General Hospital,
Rawalpindi, for six months, under Dr Hafeez Akhtar MRCP. Here I learned
the basics of critical care, such as, monitoring in critical patients, bedside
interventions, supportive therapies for major organ dysfunctions,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the care of dying.
Thereafter, I worked in general surgery in the same hospital for six and a half
months under Dr Rashid Khan FRCS. Along with typical general surgery
cases, the unit also dealt with patients of trauma and burns, and those with
urological and vascular problems.
Later, I worked for about 15 months in the orthopaedic department of the
hospital headed by Prof Aslam Piracha FRCS. Being one of the few
orthopaedic units in the city at that time, it had a busy outpatient on alternate
days with per session attendance around 100 and round the clock emergency.
Here I learned closed reduction and immobilization of fractures and
dislocations and assisted open reduction and internal fixation of fractures,
correction of bony and soft tissue deformities, joint replacements and
amputations.
My formal pre-fellowship training comprised of working as training registrar
(Medical Officer officially) general surgery for four years at FGSH
(Polyclinic), Islamabad followed by two years at PIMS, Islamabad. My
supervisors were Prof SH Khan FRCS, Dr Inam-ul Haq Shami FCPS,
Professor Ghayyour H Ayub FRCS and Prof Mohammad Shafique FRCS.
Here I learned the management of a wide range of surgical problems
including those related to orthopaedic, urology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery
and trauma. I have to attend in- patients, two outpatient clinics per week; my
on-call rota was 1 in 4 or 1 in 3. During the period, I refined my skills in
bedside procedures, and was trained in performing procedures like drainage
of abscesses, excision & biopsies of skin, soft tissue lumps and lymph nodes,
injection of haemorrhoids, sigmoidoscopy, ligations & striping of varicose
veins, appendicectomies, repair of hernias, and feeding gastrostomies/
jejunostomies. Under supervision, I also performed operations like
cholecystectomy, gastrojejunostomy, thyroid lobectomy, gut resection and
anastomosis, prostatectomies, and haemrrhoidectomies. I also assisted the
whole range of other major operations carried out by the consultants,
colectomies, gastrectomies, abdominoperineal resections, pancreatectomies,
total thyroidectomies, modified radical mastectomies, vascular
reconstructions, oesophagectomies, and thoracotomies.
.
During above period, I also wrote a dissertation on the “Management of Long
Bones Fractures” and participated in a study on the conservative treatment of
acute appendicitis
During my training period, I also attended intensive courses for preparation of
fellowship examination in surgery, organized by College of Physicians and
Surgeons, Pakistan and King Edward Medical College, Lahore.

Teaching
Responsibilities:
I have been on the Faculty of Federal Medical College, Islamabad,
2012 to 2014 as Professor & Head of Department of General
Surgery. In that capacity, I have been organizing the teaching
program of the undergraduate in General Surgery. It included their
clinical teaching in the wards and outpatient, orientation to
operative surgery in operation theatre and learning of surgical
practice by lectures and interactive sessions. Our department
PIMS also runs the postgraduate teaching program for FCPS in
Surgery (awarded by College of Physicians & Surgeons, Pakistan)
and Masters in Surgery [MS](awarded by Quaid-e-Azam
University, Islamabad). The training posts of our department are
accredited for the Fellowship examinations of all the Royal
Colleges of Surgeons of UK and Ireland.
As member of the teaching faculty of the hospital, I am actively
involved in the teaching program for postgraduate surgical trainees
in our hospital. In this capacity I have been doing two teaching
ward rounds each week and supervise the audit projects of the
residents working in my unit. Clinical meetings of the unit are held
twice weekly. Their format includes case presentations by the
trainee residents, topic discussions, and surgical audit. We also
have monthly journal club that provides the opportunity for
developing the skills for the critical appraisal of research articles.
The grand round of surgical department happens once a week in
which we make our presentation on our turn; it comes every sixth
time. Each surgical resident undertakes one clinical study as part of
the eligibility requirements for the Fellowship examination of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan.. The students are
also encouraged to participate in workshops on basic surgical
skills, computer usage, communication skills and research
methodology that are held on regular basis under the auspices of
College of Physicians & Surgeons, Pakistan and are facilitated by
the hospital faculty members.
I have also been an examiner in the Fellowship Examination in
General Surgery of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Pakistan since August 2004.
