Research Profile
– Primary research interest focuses on gastrointestinal (GI) surgery and GI surgical techniques including gastric resection, anastomoses, enterotomies, and its effects on the microvascular blood flow of the GI tract.
– Second area of focus involves brachycephalic airway syndrome (BAS), which can cause dogs to suffer from upper airway obstruction and inspiratory dyspnea.
– Additional research interests in various aspects of soft tissue surgery including minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laryngeal paralysis, parathyroid disease, and other surgical disease processes.
