He specializes in the performance of endoscopic, laparoscopic, and percutaneous surgeries. He has trained in both fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided kidney access, laparoscopic and robotic surgery, and Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). He also has an interest in global surgical outreach and has participated in numerous collaborative research and training projects in low-income countries.
