Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Dear Madam/Sir,

 

I am a senior European-board certified thoracic surgeon. My primary interests are thoracic oncological surgical procedures majorly MIS (Uniportal VATS) procedures and additionally, infective and emphysematous lung diseases. I can also perform diagnostic and staging procedures such as bronchoscopy, and mediastinoscopy. 

 

Besides, I perform minimal invasive and open pectus surgeries for both pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum (Nuss & Abramson's procedures), Poland syndrome and pectus arcuatum.

 

And also, ETS Sympatectomy – Ramiscectomy for Hyperhidrosis and Facial blushing. I do intercostal nerve microsurgical anastomosis for compenstory sweating.

 

I have achieved my surgical fellowship in the lung transplantation program in Toronto, which is headed by Prof. Shaf Keshavjee. I have involved in 89 recipient procedures (I was the first surgeon in 49 of the cases) and almost 60 retrieval procedures, including both dbd and dcd donors.

 

I was in Kyoto University for the live donor-related lung transplantation program in 2012.

 

I have written a few chapters in both national and abroad textbooks.

 

Besides, I have two formerly accepted patents related to pectus bars, one of them is close to be produced by a tech company. Another third license related to smart fluid catheters and a programmable box is already on its way.
