Dr Yusuf Moollan is a General Surgeon with an interest in minimally invasive & laparoscopic surgery, complex hernia surgery, endoscopies (gastroscopies and colonoscopies), and varicose vein treatments.
Dr Moollan is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons with extensive subspecialty training in the field of complex groin and abdominal wall hernia repairs and minimally invasive varicose vein treatments.
Dr Moollan has an interest in multiple techniques in the repair of complex abdominal wall hernia including chemical relaxation with pre-operative botulinum A toxin (Botox) injections and the Progressive Preoperative Pneumoperitoenum (PPP) method. He excels in all types of hernia repairs; from the most common inguinal hernias to the most complex ventral and incisional hernias with loss of domain.
Dr Moollan's delivery of pre-operative injections of Botox into the lateral abdominal wall muscles under ultrasound guidance and the use of PPP, is designed to expand the intra-abdominal cavity, further enabling tension free fascial closure thus reducing recurrences. Dr Moollan also has an interest in minimally invasive external oblique release techniques, thus significantly decreasing the risk of seroma formation.
Dr Moollan also has expertise in the most advanced technology in varicose vein treatments and offers his patients non-thermal vein closure with Venaseal glue, and ultrasound sclerotherapy.
Dr Moollan performs advanced treatment of varicose veins with ultrasound guidance under local anaesthetic, which leads to excellent results. This allows for enhanced recovery and rapid return to normal activities.
