A Türkiye-trained consultant neurosurgeon and pediatric neurosurgery subspecialist practising in Addis Ababa. His clinical work spans brain tumours, traumatic head injury, degenerative and traumatic spine disease, and the complex congenital conditions of childhood, pediatric neuro-oncology, spinal dysraphism and childhood spasticity. Alongside surgery he builds the training programmes and institutional partnerships that make specialist care sustainable in Ethiopia.
The subspecialty he trained for in Istanbul. Microsurgical tumour resection in the posterior fossa, ventricular system and tectal plate; craniosynostosis remodeling; neuro-endoscopy; and the full range of complex spinal dysraphism.
Surgical management of intracranial tumours in children and adults, with microsurgical resection planned around the function that has to be preserved.
Operative stabilisation of severe head injury in children and adults, including haematoma evacuation and emergency correction of acute hydrocephalus.
Degenerative and traumatic spine disease. Disc herniation, canal stenosis and spinal injury, assessed with imaging and treated surgically where surgery is what will help.
Diagnosis and surgical treatment of hydrocephalus in infants and children, by shunt or by endoscopic third ventriculostomy depending on the cause.
Selection and surgical pathways for children with spasticity, run jointly with physiotherapy teams so that an operation sits inside a longer plan of care.
