My practice
Present in Cagnes sur Mer for twenty years.
​
Through my training and my academic work, I am particularly specialized in the field of abdominal wall surgery.
The surgical treatment of inguinal and umbilical hernias and incisional hernias are therefore privileged areas of my activity; I establish myself as an Abdominal Wall Surgery Center.
​
Surgical activity, in parietology
​
Introduction in 2001 in France of the technique of F. Ugahary, it is the first tension free and sutureless technique, puting in place a large prosthesis, for the cure of an unilateral groin hernia , by a minimal invasive and access surgery.​
​
Inventor of the Minimal Open Pre Peritoneal (MOPP) technique.
​
New technique developed in 2011 in Cagnes sur Mer, synthesis of the Ugahary technique and the Trans Inguinal Pre Peritoneal (TIPP) technique, after development and patent filing a specific dissecting instrument, with creation of complete instrumentation specifically adapted to the MOPP technique, the technique has been widely published.​
​
Prosthetics Matérials
​
I am also a specialist in prosthetic materials, (DEA in biomedical engineering), see article Hernia 2000, and I have created prostheses for surgery of groin hernias, and ventral hernias and small eventrations, with deposit of a patent : the target prosthesis.
​
Other field of expertise apart from parietal surgery.
​
I also specialize in :
-Pilonidal sinus surgery
-Proctological surgery, hemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas
-Gallbladder surgery
-In collaboration with the emergency department of the Saint Jean clinic: general surgery; appendicitis, cholecystitis, proctologic emergency...
​
Publications et présentations ​
​
Most of my publications and communications report on my experimental and clinical university research conducted in the parietology department of Professor Stoppa, an eminent referent for this specialty. The work is currently continuing on the clinical level in close collaboration with industrialists, and the leading learned society in France in this field: the French society for surgery of the abdominal wall-Club hernie, Société Française de Chirurgie Pariétale - Club Hernie (sfcp-ch.fr) of which I am a member of the board and member of the scientific committee in 2022.
​
These publications and presentations concern:
​
- F. Ugahary's technique to treat the groin hernias, which I introduced in France in 2001 and which was presented to the French National Academy of surgery in May 2004. the film of the technique accompanies the publication of the results concerning the 300 first hernias operated using this technique in Cagnes sur mer: Report of the academy of surgery, 2004.
​
- the MOPP technique which is a synthesis of the Ugahary technique and the Minimal Open Pre Peritoneal (TIPP) technique.
- postpartum abdominal insufficiency.​
