The work of UHNM's Gynaecology team has been recognised at an international conference. 🏥 🛫

The team was invited to present ten research papers at the Annual Congress of the European Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) in Istanbul.

Experts from UHNM also delivered five oral and four poster presentations covering a range of advanced surgical innovations and clinical research topics.

🗣️ Dr Ammar Rafiq, senior registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology, said: “It was an honour to represent UHNM on the international stage. The positive feedback we received shows the strength of our research and our ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for patients.

“Our work attracted real interest from colleagues across Europe, who praised UHNM’s innovative approach and the practical impact of our findings. It’s fantastic to see our team’s efforts recognised and to showcase the talent and collaboration within our gynaecology department.”

The congress is one of the leading international events for experts in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery bringing together doctors, researchers and healthcare innovators from across Europe to showcase the latest surgical techniques, research and new technology.

Our specialised services include cancer diagnosis and treatment, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, renal and dialysis services, neonatal intensive care and paediatric intensive care. We are also recognised for our particular expertise in trauma, respiratory conditions, spinal surgery, upper gastro-intestinal surgery, complex orthopaedic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and the management of liver conditions.
