The work presented includes over thirty peer reviewed published manuscripts based on studies undertaken during my surgical career. As Principal Investigator, I led the study conception/design/data acquisition/analysis/interpretation and was involved with writing the final drafts of all manuscripts prior to their formal submission to high impact factor peer-reviewed specialist journals. The thesis is divided into subsections reflecting my development and different interests within surgery. The subsections start with my learning basic research principles, moving onto clinical problem solving in general surgical dilemmas, followed by a collection of papers in my subspecialty of vascular surgery. The work culminates with a group of papers focused on aneurysmal disease, specifically, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), the clinical impact of which has had a bearing on the introduction of a National AAA Screening Program in Wales in 2013. I conclude these sections with a collection of papers that reflect my long term commitment to surgical training both at regional level (as Secretary and Deputy Chairman to the Higher Surgical Training Committee and Chairman of the Basic Surgical Training Committee) and national level including my involvement with the Four Royal Colleges of Surgeons for the Intercollegiate Examinations in General Surgery. This examination is undertaken at completion of junior surgical training and used to confirm a doctor's competence for safe independent practice as a consultant. In conclusion, over forty years of academic research during my career as a vascular surgeon has provided unique insight into the pathophysiology, treatment and ultimately prevention of artherosclerotic disease. These findings have improved health policies in Wales and significantly reduced patient morbidity and mortality.
