“Excellence in colorectal surgery begins with evidence. Through research, we refine techniques, improve outcomes, and transform lives.”

Aim

To advance knowledge and improve clinical outcomes in colorectal surgery through high-quality research studies, including epidemiological studies, clinical trials, and systematic reviews.

Objectives

• Conduct observational and interventional studies on colorectal diseases.
• Assess surgical outcomes and post-operative complications in colorectal procedures.
• Explore disparities in colorectal cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
• Synthesize existing evidence through systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
• Develop and publish guidelines on best practices in colorectal surgery.

Suggested Research Areas:

• Postoperative Quality of Life: Functional outcomes following colorectal surgery.
• Colorectal Cancer: Risk factors, screening adherence, and survival outcomes.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Epidemiology and management strategies.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted colorectal surgery.
• Surgical Site Infections & Complications: Prevention strategies and management.

Research Projects

• Mycromyosis case report
• Rectal prolapse case report
• Sigmoid post colonoscopy

Leadership

Lab Director/Supervisor: Mr. Hazim Altyeb
With a solid medical foundation from Omdurman Islamic University and postgraduate qualifications in Medical Education from Newcastle University, I honed my expertise in colorectal surgery in the North East of England when I completed my training. I have contributed to medical research, leveraging my Master of Research from the University of Portsmouth to advance healthcare practices. My core competencies include a solid dedication to medical education and a keen focus on colorectal health, where we continually strive to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based approaches and innovative surgical techniques. I am undertaking an ESCP robotic colorectal fellowship at the University Hospital of Limerick, Ireland.
