I am an associate professor of surgery and I’m the chief of the breast service at Yale in New Haven.

So I came to work and study at the Paris Breast Center and clinic Bizet for a period of three months. And the reason I wanted to come was to learn more about oncoplastic surgery.

In the United States, our training is a little bit different and we don’t have as much training in plastic surgery as many of our European colleagues. So I wanted to come and work with Krishna Clough because he’s one of the pioneers of oncoplastic surgery.

And I wanted to spend some time in Paris getting to know him and working with him and getting some firsthand experience in oncoplastics. Ideally, the reason I wanted to come is to benefit my patients to give them better cosmetic outcomes after their lumpectomies and to be able to do more breast conserving surgery.

I think the two most useful techniques that I learned here was something called an advancement flap, where I learned how to undermine the skin and free the breast gland from the muscle to fill in a lumpectomy defect and really reshape the breast after lumpectomy. So there’s no deformity.

And the other technique that I learned about was something called a rotational glandular flap, where we recruit a little bit of breast tissue from a different place after a lumpectomy and use that to fill in a cavity or a hole to get the best cosmetic outcome.

I work at Fiona Stanley Hospital, which is a tertiary hospital in Perth in Western Australia. I am an Oncoplastic breast surgeon, so I do breast cancer surgery and level one and two oncoplasty.

I’m also a general surgeon as well.

So I first met Dr Clough and Dr Isabelle Sarfati in 2013.

I attended one of the master classes about oncoplastic surgery, and this is when I first started doing this technique.

Since then, I attended different conferences, especially the one that Dr Clough had attended and presented at, because that had… That did have a big influence on improving my oncoplastic techniques.

Both Dr Clough and Dr Isabelle Sarfati have an international reputation about oncoplastic surgery. The reason that made me come to France and to the Paris breast clinic is because of the high quality teaching and the variety of cases that a surgeon will be exposed to.

One of my colleagues, actually from Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth, he was here about a few months ago and he spoke very highly about the quality of teaching here, and that’s made me come all the way to attend different types of surgery at the Paris Breast Clinic with both Dr Clough and Dr Sarfati.

I stayed for two weeks and that was actually very useful for me. I tried to balance work and pleasure as well. Paris is a great city. There are lots of things to see here.

But during these two weeks, we did see a variety of cases and I did have the opportunity to work with both Dr Clough and Dr Sarfati. And I found that was very useful to improve
my techniques and for my profession as well

I’m very happy to announce that, after all these years spent abroad for residency and fellowship, i came back to my country to start my activity in the Shoulder Unit at Ospedale Koelliker Torino.

I must thanks another time for all the teachings recieved my mentors in Belgium at Université catholique de Louvain and the great masters of shoulder surgery as Lafosse Laurent, Thibault Lafosse and Philippe Valenti during my fellowship in France.
