Brain Tumours

I currently perform approximately 70 brain tumour operations a year. I chair the multidisciplinary brain tumour meeting at Princess Alexandra Hospital and we pride ourselves on excellent surgical outcomes.

I have a strong interest in developing minimally invasive brain surgery operations and perform several “keyhole” operations. I have spent some time working with computer navigation of the brain to ensure the least possible complications from surgery with the best resection using functional MRI and Tractography.

I am a neurosurgical member for COGNO - the collaborative Australian research group for brain tumours meaning my patients can be participate easily in promising brain tumour trials.

It has been our opinion that with such vigilant dedicated treatment as we can provide through our multidisciplinary brain tumour meeting that patients are doing much better than they have ever done before. The group includes neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, palliative care physicians, clinical nurses, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, social workers and scientists all dedicated to the well being of our patients.
