He attended several courses in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery in Strasbourg (France), Taipei (Taiwan), Brisbane and Adelaide.
His laparoscopic skills include inguinal and incisional hernia, liver resections, distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, adrenalectomy, colectomies, bile duct exploration, fundoplication and hiatal hernia repairs.
Dr. Iorgulescu is trained as a general surgeon, therefore also performs vascular access procedures for chemotherapy, minor skin flaps for skin cancers, minor urological procedures (vasectomy, circumcision), carpal tunnel and all other common general surgical operations.
