Abu Dhabi-UAE

The Central and Al-JazeeraHospitals, in Abu Dhabi, have very busy, active surgical units, receiving all types of emergencies including a lot of trauma. These two hospitals are one complex consisting of over 700 beds with all the diagnostic and treatment facilities, including a fully equipped general and specialist Radiological Department with CT scanners, Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine Services. The complex has an active undergraduate and postgraduate surgical teaching unit. Primary and final F.R.C.S. courses are regularly conducted here as programmed by The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. The Part A and Part B of the F.R.C.S. examination have been held here every year for the last 14 and 11 years respectively.

During my three and a half years as an SHO and my four years as a Registrar in this complex I gained a wide experience in managing acute and elective admissions. I was trained to perform many surgical procedures including open cholecystectomy and thyroidectomy and actively participated in the postgraduate seminars and teaching.

I developed an interest in Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery and decided to move to the United Kingdom for furthers training.

University Department of Surgery
Professor Miles Irving, Mr. John Bancewicz, and Mr. Nigel Scott

I gained a wide experience of general surgery in a combined medical and surgical gastroenterology academic unit. I learnt the technique of esophageal surgery and management of esophageal diseases in a specialized unit. I was actively involved in the surgical management of a large number of patients with complicated gastrointestinal pathology, including revision gastrointestinal surgery, enterocutaneous fistulas, ileo-anal J pouches, laparostomies and pancreatic surgery. I also gained a wide experience of esophageal and gastric surgery, including esophagectomies, D2 gastrectomies, laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, laparoscopic Heller's myotomy and esophageal balloon dilatation.

I was trained to perform endoscopy and I performed a large number of diagnostic laparoscopies. I was involved in a 1:5 on call Rota supervised by a Consultant from home and I performed a significant number of large and small bowel resections and gastrectomies.

I participated in the general surgical, esophageal and proctology clinics, which were held weekly.

There is a regional nutritional unit associated with the surgical department, managing total parenteral nutrition including a large number of patients on home total parenteral nutrition. I was actively involved in this unit and I was trained to insert feeding lines.

Being a member of the academic unit I attended the teaching rounds with the Consultants and I was involved in the surgical audit, which was held on a weekly basis and participated weekly in combined medical/surgical gastroenterological meetings and combined surgical/radiology meetings.

Under supervision of Mr. Terry O'Brien I performed a large number of vascular procedures including aortic bifurcation grafts, femoral-popliteal and axillo-femoral bypass grafts.

I was involved in a 1:4 on call Rota supervised by a Consultant from home and I performed a large number of emergency laparotomies with small and large bowel resections.

I performed a large number of laparoscopic cholecystectomies and several cases of laparoscopic assisted appendectomies.

I was also involved in breast surgery, and I performed a large number of mastectomies, axillary clearance and insertion of breast prostheses

My training under supervision of both Mr. Walker and Mr. Ravi, also involved elective colorectal surgery and I performed a large number of colonic resection (Hemicolectomies, anterior resections, and abdominoperineal resections), and I performed a large number of gastro-intestinal anastomosis (hand sutures and stapler anastomosis)

This is a very busy hospital with a large number of daily emergency admissions. I was involved in a 1:5 on call Rota supervised by a Consultant from home and has performed a large number of emergency laparotomies with small and large bowel resection.

I was actively involved in the teaching of both medical students and candidates for both the primary and final F.R.C.S. examination on a weekly basis. I also participated in the weekly combined surgical/radiological meetings.

Professor Chris Wild

I gained a lot of clinical and research skills in this internationally recognized gastro- intestinal unit. I learnt the technique of DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry. I conducted a clinical and molecular research concerning the etiology and surveillance of Barrett’s esophagus. I investigated some of the molecular markers expressed in esophageal adenocarcinoma. Among the markers, which I investigated, are the epidermal growth factor, epidermal growth factor receptors, glucose transporter 1, and cyclin D1. In addition, I investigated the prevalence of short segment of Barrett’s and its associated risk of carcinoma, and the cost effectiveness of surveillance. I found that the cyclin D1 is a useful early marker in the process of malignant progression from columnar metaplasia to esophageal adenocarcinoma. My group of patients with Barrett’s esophagus was 597 patients, which is one of the largest series in the world. This research was submitted to Research School of Medicine - LeedsUniversity as a thesis for M.D. degree, which I was awarded in 2002. My research about the cyclin D1 as an early marker for esophageal adenocarcinoma has been published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The Barrett's surveillance work has been published in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology and the World Journal of Gastroenterology.

Research Interests

My main interests are in the fields of upper gastrointestinal surgery, Medical education, and Oncology, particularly gastroesophageal malignancies, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, soft tissue tumors, and peritoneal surface tumors.

Upper gastrointestinal surgery and oncosurgery are my major subspecialty with special interest in esophageal surgery, Barrett’s esophagus, gastric and other intra-abdominal tumors. Esophageal and gastric cancers are my main clinical interest. My focus of the esophageal cancer research is on the investigation of the molecular changes during the multistep malignant progression of columnar-lined (Barrett’s) esophagus. One of the current research projects is investigating the role of cyclin E expression in esophageal cancer. The study on glucose transporter is also underway for esophageal cancer research. I am also involved in the research to elucidate the prognostic factors in gastric cancer patients. My main focus of research is the inquiry of carcinogenesis in the stomach cancer, which is concentrated on the cell cycle molecules, eg p21 and p27, and H. pylori. I am investigating the role of different cyclins in the multistage tumorigenesis of gastric cancer and the correlation between the expression of cyclins and the degree of histologic aggressiveness and prognostic indices in patients of gastric carcinoma. At the moment I am investigating the gastric carcinoma in Northern Jordan with regards to the expression of a panel of tumor markers including cyclin E, p21, p27, p53 and EGFR. Also I am investigating the relationship of H. pylori to gastric adenocarcinoma and type of H. pylori strains in Jordan. My future research topics are prognostic molecular markers for gastric adenocarcinomas. Another research field is to evaluate the possibilities of combining many molecular markers as a prognosticator for gastric cancer.

Furthermore, I have participated in the development of Bioethics curriculum in the Faculties of Medicine and Nursing at the Hashemite University starting first semester 2011-2012
