Henk Giele

Henk Giele has been a consultant plastic, hand, and microsurgeon in Oxford at the Radcliffe Infirmary, John Radcliffe, Churchill and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (now merged to Oxford University Hospitals) since 1996. Although initially providing plastic surgery services for example treating skin cancers, he became seriously involved in the Oxford Transplant Centre in 2011 providing soft tissue cover following intestinal transplantation. This led to the development of abdominal wall transplantation (AWT) including novel innovations to reduce ischaemia reperfusion injury, or stand-alone AWT.
    
Other research interests are examining perfusion, preservation and manipulation of VCA with cellular therapies.
