Dr Ananda Dhanasekaran took on his second Allium case, on January 2nd, which was also the first one at the new facilities at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital. We are delighted to announce that it was a successful implantation. With a small ureteric stricture, the patient presented an ideal situation for the use of an Allium stent.
This case offered a training opportunity for Dr Yuko Smith of University Hospitals Birmingham, who was in attendance, to gain experience of the procedure. Throughout the case, the consultants were supported by the Clinical Product manager at LaproSurge, Asad Abid who has a wealth of experience with Allium.
There are lots of opportunities to learn with Allium. The Ureteric Stricture & Metal Stent Cadaveric Course in Newcastle is taking place on the 11th-12th March. We are looking forward to senior registrars having the chance to refine their operative skills with the help of Allium stents.
Sign up to the Allium User Group for the latest on Allium stents and to hear first of any upcoming opportunities for personal development.
