Details of Work Experience and
Post Graduate Training
During the last 10 years I’ve
worked as a full time consultant in urology, paediatric urology, transplant
urology, reconstructive urology, neuro-urology and female urology. This
included working as a staff member at the University Hospitals Stellenbosch
(South Africa), Leicester (UK) and Innsbruck (Austria) being involved in the
whole spectrum of urology dealing with and treating patients both as
out-patients and in-patients. My work also included student and registrar
teaching and training. I was also involved in examining medical students and
urology and surgery registrars. I love teaching and in Innsbruck I also lecture
at the School of Nursing the subjects of pathology and general surgery. The
main focus of my activities is operative urology in its whole spectrum.
Most of my initial energies
went into the good practice of surgery. The basics in surgery I learnt from Don F. Du Toit, an extremely
experienced surgeon from the Medical University Stellenbosch, who guided me
well through my beginnings in “big” surgery. Gustav Witters- Vansteenkiste
taught me to do renal transplantations after being on standby transplant call
for a whole year in 1990. The good basis in conservative and invasive urology I
was glad to receive from Martinus L.S. de
Kock, Chris Heyns and Abrie Schmidt at the Tygerberg Hospital
covering the whole spectrum of urology. Having surgical experience for over 20
years now, I believe that an operation can only be repeatedly successful if the
indication to do surgery is correct. Surgery is invasive and its performance an
art. To be good at surgery one needs a special love for humanity and detail to
be able to first of all “do no further harm”.
As visiting guest urologist I
had the privilege to train with Rudolf
Hohenfellner in Mainz, Germany, Peter
Alken in Mannheim, Germany, and also Mohamed
Ghoneim and Hassan Abol- Enein
in Mansoura, Egypt.
During this period I had
additional training in paediatric urology (13 months full time with Marcus Riccabona in Linz, Austria)
including a workshop with Alberto Peña (The 26th
workshop: Surgical treatment of anorectal malformations, New York, USA, November
16-18,1998). I successfully completed the European College of Transplantation
Course (Hesperis) in Madrid, Spain in November 1999. In Leicester, as well as
at the Tygerberg Hospital (Medical University Stellenbosch) I was actively
invloved in the renal transplant team being responsible for the vascular and
peritoneal dialysis access surgery. Over a period of more than eight years I
was involved in more than 200 kidney transplantations, having done 88 as the
senior surgeon.
In Klagenfurt I learnt to do
the perineal radical prostatectomy from Klaus
Jeschke, and assisted in various laparoscopic procedures. The big regional
hospital of Klagenfurt is one of the busiest urology centres in Austria.
Working with Helmut Madersbacher intensified my
knowledge of neuro-urology tremendously. Having established a neuro-urology
unit of quality well known all over the world, Madersbacher demonstrates the need for special units caring for
patients with these challenging problems. In this unit I had the opportunity to
treat and operate patients with very involving pathology, including patients
after multiple previous surgeries.
Georg
Bartsch has built up a urology department at the Medical University Innsbruck
with an exceptional infrastructure. In this department as a staff member for
four years my work concentrated on reconstructive urology, oncology, female
urology, neuro-urology, pelvic surgery and urological traumatology. The
presence of the uro-radiologist
Ferdinand Frauscher during specialist out-patient clinics increased my
understanding of urologic ultrasound examination tremendously. This resulted in
my special interest in the dynamics human sphincter function. During this time
I had the privilege to visit and learn from Don Skinner and John Stein at
the USC/Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Centre (Los Angeles) for a period of one month in 2001.
My surgical spectrum covers
the whole field of open surgical urology, endourology and basic laparoscopy. In
1994 I attended a Laparoscopy Course at the European Surgical Institute
(Ethicon®, Norderstedt, Germany: Laparoscopic Surgery of the Urogenital Tract)
by Jens Rassweiler.
As the senior surgeon at the
operating table I’m comfortable to perform from a radical cystoprostatectomy,
radical prostatectomy, incontinent and continent urinary diversion, partial
nephrectomy, pyeloplasty right through to gender reassignment (male to female)
also including the whole spectrum of male and female incontinence surgery.
Concerning endourology I can perform a transurethral resection of the prostate
(also more than 100g at 2g/min with the continuous- flow resectoscope) with
accuracy. I have performed all forms of stone treatment including ESWL, ureterorenoscopy
and endoscopic stone extraction, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and anatrophic
nephrolithotomy.
