| Dr Nigel Ackroyd |
Dr Nigel Ackroyd has a long experience of keyhole, otherwise known as endoluminal vascular surgery. He was the first surgeon to perform keyhole (endoluminal) aortic aneurysm repair in the northern beaches area and has kept abreast of new developments in this field. He has extensive experience in the Doppler ultrasound assessment of vascular conditions and runs a busy vascular assessment clinic.
As well as vascular surgery he has a significant general surgical committment to the hospitals where he works. He performs keyhole hernia and gallbladder surgery as well as the broard scope of emergency surgery. This broad scope of experience has often been helpful in clinical practice as illness does not always follow precise borders.
He has a long experience with the non operative treatment of varicose veins including the use of the radiofrequency VNUS techniques and the latest Laser Sclerotheraphy devices.
