Specialist interests
Khalid Ghufoor specialises in throat problems, sleep apnoea and snoring, voice disorders and in tumours of the pharynx, larynx, thyroid and salivary glands. He is part of the multidisciplinary team at the Head and Neck Unit, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Conventional surgical techniques for tumours are supplemented by the endoscopic transoral laser technique, in which the carbon dioxide laser is used to extirpate cancers and a variety of other pathologies without needing to incise the neck. Khalid Ghufoor has set up the transoral robotic surgery (TORS) at the Royal London Hospital, the cutting edge technology being used allows for advanced tumour resections from the throat.
