Biography
Michael Booth
PERSONAL
DETAILS
Michael
Booth graduated from Oxford University Medical School in 1990.After
completing his surgical training in Oxford, London and Australia
he took up the position of Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeon
at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in May 2003. He also holds the position
of Senior Lecturer with Oxford University Medical School. As such
he has responsibility for the surgical tuition of medical students
attached to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, and sits on the Surgical
Teaching Committee and General Tutors Group of Oxford University
Medical School. He is married with three children.
CLINICAL
EXPERIENCE
He has a broad experience in both open and laparoscopic upper gastrointestinal
surgery. He has performed more than 40 oesophagectomies, 50 laparoscopic
anti-reflux procedures and over 400 laparoscopic cholecystectomies.
He is competent in flexible endoscopic techniques, including endoscopic
injection, laser therapy, balloon dilatation, percutaneous gastrostomy
(PEG) and self-expanding stent insertion.
RESEARCH
From April 1999 to September 2001 Michael Booth was Surgical Research
Fellow at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading. In conjunction
with Mr Tom Dehn he was responsible for setting up and co-ordinating
a randomised clinical trial of laparoscopic 360° vs. 270°
fundoplication in the treatment of symptomatic gastro-oesophageal
reflux disease. A sub-group of the trial population acted as the
clinical material for a study of the effects of fundoplication on
ambulatory oesophageal body and lower oesophageal sphincter motility,
correlated with quality of life assessment and clinical outcome.
For this he worked within the GI Physiology Unit at the Royal Berkshire
Hospital, performing and interpreting 24-hour oesophageal pH and
oesophageal body motility studies, and he introduced the technique
of prolonged lower oesophageal sphincter manometry to the department.
The study involved close collaboration with the Wingate Institute
for Neurogastroenterology at the Royal London Hospital under the
supervision of its director, Professor DF Evans, for which he was
granted an Honorary Research Fellowship.
The study has been approved by the Medical Sciences Board of the
University of Oxford as a thesis for the award of Doctorate of Medicine.
The last post-operative physiological tests were performed in mid-2002.
Preliminary results have been presented at the Association of Surgeon`s
of Great Britain and Ireland Annual Meting in Dublin (2002) and
at the American Gastroenterological Association Meeting in San Francisco
(Digestive Diseases Week 2002).
