It has also significantly reduced the hospital stay to allow many fractures to be managed as Day Surgery that otherwise would have been regarded as impossible. Dr Oliver operated as the only microvascular surgeon working across different specialties, including Orthopaedic, Maxillofacial, and Head & Neck Surgeries, to cover all the free flap surgeries in the North District Hospital from 2010 to 2020.
