Dr. Michael Magoha

Dr. Michael Magoha, a neurosurgeon and lecturer at the University of Nairobi Department of Surgery has authored a book that illustrates effective study techniques for learners.

The book titled: Study like a surgeon is an illustrated pocketbook of proved, effective study techniques presented in a colourful relaxed format.

The University of Nairobi in collaboration with Kenyatta National Hospital, Crown Healthcare and Karl Storz Kenya, through a team led by Dr. Michael Magoha and Mr. Harun Aseka have been able to offer 7 patients state of the art neuro endoscopic procedures that they would otherwise not have been able to afford.

The procedures included endoscopic fenestrations, endoscopic third ventriculostomies, endoscopic biopsies among others.

This minimally invasive approach avoids needless  craniotomies or ventriculoperitoneal shunting in specific cases.
