About Dr. Amer Abdul
Dr. Amer Abdul is a general surgeon with long experience in the UAE, most of it in Sharjah, and with a particular background in laparoscopic surgery. At Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah, Dr. Abdul sees adults with conditions that may need an operation, such as hernias, gallstones, appendicitis and lumps that need assessment or removal.
Laparoscopic, or minimal access, surgery is carried out through a few small incisions with a camera, instead of one larger opening. Dr. Abdul completed a fellowship in minimal access surgery in 2011 and held posts as a specialist general and laparoscopic surgeon at hospitals and medical centres in Sharjah, including Medcare Hospital Sharjah from 2010 to 2017. Before that, Dr. Abdul was Head of the Surgical Department at Zulekha Hospital Sharjah, and had worked as a specialist general surgeon at Hamad Medical Hospital in Qatar.
Dr. Abdul qualified in medicine at Baghdad Medical College and trained in general surgery under the Arab Board programme at Baghdad Medical Teaching Hospital, where the work included clinical teaching for senior medical students at the Medical City teaching hospital. Taking part in local and international surgical conferences has been a regular part of the career since.
A first consultation with a general surgeon is mainly about deciding whether surgery is needed at all. Expect questions about your symptoms, an examination, and a review of any scans or blood tests; if an operation is advised, Dr. Abdul will explain what it involves and the alternatives before you decide.
