Professor Lord was the first to use endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy for Barrett’s oesophagus in this country and was a pioneer of BRAVO wireless probe testing for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). He was also the first person to perform robotic general surgery in Australia.
