01The method

What you were offered, and what I do instead.

0incisions
0stitches to remove
1day in hospital
awakelocal anaesthetic only

How the two compare The operation What I do

Getting to it They open you Through a blood vessel

The problem itself Cut out Starved, and it shrinks

The organ around it Often goes with it Stays where it is

While it happens Put under Awake, local anaesthetic

Afterwards A wound, and stitches One day, and no stitch

Here is why that is possible. Everything that grows inside you is fed by its own blood vessel. One road in, and it is the only one that matters.

I close that one road. What it was feeding is starved and shrinks over the weeks after, and everything around it keeps its own supply. Nothing has to be opened to get at it.

01One artery feeds it 02I steer to that branch 03It is closed, the rest carries on

02The five

Find the one that is yours.

Fibroids and bleedingYou have been given a date, and they are taking the uterus with it.

a vial of embolic particles, a syringe and a fine catheter, laid out on paper

They gave you a date. They told you the fibroid comes out and the uterus goes with it.

Your uterus stays where it is. I close the one vessel feeding the fibroid, from a puncture at the wrist. It shrinks over the weeks after, and everything around it is left alone.

The fibroid is fed by one vessel. That is the one I close.

You are awake. You are home the next day.

An enlarged prostateUp three or four times a night, and there is a date in the diary for an operation.

a wrist sheath, a torque device and a compression band, laid out on paper

Your prostate stays where it is. I close the vessels feeding it, from a puncture at the wrist, and it settles over the weeks after. Nothing is cut and nothing is taken out.

Turn off what feeds it, and it settles on its own.

You are awake. You are home the next day.

VaricoceleThe semen analysis that came back poor while you were trying. Or the ache that is gone by morning and back by evening.

four embolization coils in a steel tray, with a pusher wire, laid out on paper

Nothing is cut, and nothing is removed. I close the vein that is letting blood sit where it should not, from the inside, through a puncture.

A drain built to empty uphill. Blood pools. I close it.

You are awake, and you are not examined for asking a question.

Liver tumoursA scan found something, surgery is off the table, and everyone is asking you what happens now.

a shielded delivery pot and an administration line, laid out on paper

This one is mine. When a tumour cannot be cut out, I treat it from the inside, through the vessel that feeds it, without an operation.

The treatment goes down one branch only. The rest of the liver is left alone.

I published my own liver patients in 2020. Twenty three of them, treated in Beirut, free to read tonight.

Pelvic pain, and normal scansWorse by the evening, worse on your feet, and every scan normal. It has a name: pelvic congestion.

a three way manifold with two syringes and a long catheter, laid out on paper

Your scans came back normal because a scan of the womb is not a scan of the veins. They answer different questions, and nobody has asked yours yet.

A scan of the womb is not a scan of the veins. I look at the second one.

I look at the veins. If that is what this is, it can be closed without an operation.

03Where I trained

I learned this in America, and I never left it.

I trained in radiology in New York, then Pittsburgh. On the record since 2002.
I hold medical licences in nine American states, and I am on the federal register there. Look me up.
Two hospitals in Beirut. One department. Every week.
I teach it at the University of Balamand.

04On record

I publish my own results. Ask any doctor for theirs.

The paper, the catalogue and the American register all open, on somebody else’s website. None of this is a claim about me and none of it needs my permission to check.

Written up 23 every patient I treated, in one paper, not a selected few

Published 2020 in Cureus, free to open and free to read

In the catalogue 2006 & 2009 my name in the University of Balamand’s own one
