Exploring the process of learning psycho motor skills in surgical training
To optimise the process of teaching surgical procedures , it is essential to understand the learning process of psych-motor skills. The interaction between different congnitive elements and deliberate practice is important for the transition from cognitive phase to integrative phase and finally to automation. I am interested in exploring factors which affect transition to integration phase by optimising attention, perception and concept formation. -
Minimising risk of urinary tract injury in gynaecological surgery
This research investigate using different simple techniques for prevention and diagnosis of urinary tract injury as a complication of gynaecological surgery -
Outcome of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery
current project to assess the anatomical outcome of pelvic organ prolapse surgery using native tissue repair with special emphasis on apical compartment. -
