Consultant surgeon - Mr Kapil Sahnan
Consultant surgeon and our Director of Innovation, Mr Kapil Sahnan has been fitted with an exoskeleton designed to help reduce strain and combat muscular fatigue during long hours in the operating theatre.
He was the first to wear the device during this J-pouch excision seven-hour procedure.
The exoskeleton suit is worn over scrubs and designed to support the arms and shoulders when surgeons are operating for prolonged periods of time.
