A/Prof Mouhannad Jaber is an experienced General Surgeon specialising in Bariatric, Upper-GI and General Surgery. He has 20+ years of experience in advanced laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery and holds the role of Head of Department of the Upper-GI Surgical Unit at Wollongong Public Hospital.

His surgical career has predominantly involved advanced, highly-complex gastric surgery including cancer surgery of the oesophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas, as well as abdominal wall repair (hernia) and general surgery of the gallbladder and other conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Focusing on these highly-complex areas of laparoscopic surgery provided A/Prof Jaber with exceptional training to perform the less-technically challenging bariatric surgical procedures, such as the gastric sleeve and gastric bypass.
