24.01.2022 New month... new registrars... new protocols... same incredible department & public health service @sydhospitalhand . . #mondaymotivation #weeklyauditmeeting #patientoutcomes #handsurgery #wristsurgery #specialistplasticsurgeon #handsurgeon #covidtimes #teleconferencing #socialdistancing #maskson #wereinthistogether

21.01.2022 The hands of an 86 yo lady keen for more surgery . Despite years of symptoms in both hands and reluctance to have surgery, I am delighted (but not surprised) to see her at 6 weeks post carpal tunnel surgery on the LEFT... eager to sign up for the RIGHT . As we repeat the consent process outlining the disease, cause, surgery, risks and complications... all I can think of is KISS... keep it simple, stupid!... . KISS is a design principle noted by the US Navy in the 1960s, its origins and variations being linked to great minds such as Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare and Albert Einstein. While its use is not infrequent in the teaching and practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery... there are few patients, pathologies or procedures I find it ENTIRELY applicable to... . Carpal tunnel is common. Its cause usually similarly common. While no surgery is ‘simple’ and without risk or complication, there are few that provide such successful outcomes and patient satisfaction by keeping it simple and straightforward . #KISS #carpaltunnel #handsurgery #specialistplasticsurgeon #successfuloutcomes #patientsatisfaction #happypatienthappysurgeon See more

18.01.2022 The look of a surgeon who’s week started with a finger replant (trauma) & finished with a finger amputation (cancer)... not to mention everything that intervened but hey, as my dearest mate says... tomorrow is a new day!

18.01.2022 Great to collaborate with Melbourne colleagues on this Australian perspective on the latest update to the classification for congenital upper limb differences . #collaboration #australianperspective #congenitalhandsurgery #congenitalupperlimbdifferences #australianhanddifferenceregister #academicsurgery #foreverlearningandsharing

17.01.2022 I captured this beauty en route to the hospital this evening and couldn’t help but feel a heaviness in my heart for my colleagues abroad and more recently interstate... . They say beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies but let’s hope they also represent better times are on the horizon... #gratitude #keepsafe #stayhealthy #frontlineworkers #wereallinthistogether

15.01.2022 Minor surgical procedures, where appropriate and performed under local anaesthetic, can be conducted in our rooms @randwickplasticsurgery . . Using the same equipment, instruments, techniques and sutures as the operating theatre of a hospital, suitable minor procedures such as mole or skin cancer removal and scar revision can be performed under local anaesthetic .... . In-room procedures can be more cost and time efficient for patients please do not hesitate to call or email us for more details . . #specialistplasticsurgeon #FRACS #ASPS #minorprocedures #moleremoval #skincancersurgery #skincancerremoval #scarrevision #procedureroom #safesurgery #safetyfirst See more

09.01.2022 A magical evening uniting two of my life passions ballet and medicine! . . The expert panel discussed the results of recent research and explored traditional and emerging options for diagnosing joint issues, managing joint pain and protecting joint health .... . As an ex-ballerina and surgeon that regularly manages joint pain and injuries, I couldn’t be happier to be part of the Ballet Ambassador Program which supports valuable medical research such as that undertaken by @latrobeuni and @ausballet to better understand and optimise ballerina health . . #ausballet #balletambassadors #philanthropy #ballet #medicine #medicalresearch #boldthinkingseries #ballerinahealth #keepaustraliadancing See more

07.01.2022 Just kicked off the 75th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand It may not be San Antonio but this necessitated shift to virtual meetings demonstrates the adaptability and myriad of new opportunities this ‘venue’ provides... We may not be able to change events, but we can change our approach and attitude towards them. ... - Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan #ASSH #virtualmeeting #handsurgery #foreverlearning #foreverchanging

05.01.2022 ‘No, this is flexing’ was my response to a patient’s query as to whether certificates on the wall were just a way of doctors ‘flexing’ . . While I commended her observation and inquisitiveness at the youthful age of 12, I proceeded to inform her of the (minimum 12 year) journey to becoming a specialist surgeon and the importance of displaying education, postgraduate training and accreditation to ensure patients like herself know they are in the most highly trained (a...nd safest) hands . . #specialistplasticsurgeon #plasticsurgery #handsurgery #reconstructivesurgery #microsurgery #plasticsocietyaustralia #aspsau #FRACS #highestqualitypatientcare #patientsafetyfirst See more

04.01.2022 HAIR by Sarah. The latest addition to my collection from a talented patient aka ‘trojanpencil’ They say art (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder, and thus for me this piece elegantly reflects the origins of my craft... that being HAIRdressing aka ‘the barber-surgeon’ ... Beginning in the Egyptian era, throughout Roman times and in the Middle Ages, barbers were known to perform much more than haircuts and efforts of vanity. They were called on to perform minor surgical operations, pull teeth, and even embalm the dead! Their many duties made them the surgeons of the day #artandscience #eyeofthebeholder #historyofmedicine #barbersurgeon #ilooklikeasurgeon #funfactalmostfriday

02.01.2022 Challenge accepted with thanks @katelizabethgriffiths . To all the strong, intelligent, beautiful and inspiring women I am so grateful to have in my life . #womensupportingwomen #challengeaccepted

02.01.2022 Four years to the day since I sat my last surgical exam and emerged from a different kind of lockdown... how time has flown and life changed... hard at the start, daunting for a while, pure gratitude at the end #fridayflashback
