Training & background
From general and trauma surgery to specialist practice in Queensland.
Before practising in Australia, Dr Mastakov worked as a general and trauma surgeon. His early surgical experience included reconstructive and restorative surgery for post-burn scarring and contractures, and a role in hand microsurgery.
He has also been involved in research and scientific publication, with work appearing in journals including Gene Therapy, Molecular Therapy and Journal of Virology.
Laparoscopic care
Keyhole surgery where clinically appropriate.
Many procedures can be performed laparoscopically, using smaller incisions than traditional open surgery. Open surgery may still be recommended for some conditions depending on safety, anatomy, previous operations and the clinical situation.
During consultation, the team will explain the recommended approach, expected recovery considerations and any preparation required before surgery.
