                Keywords:Andrew Bowker was involved in general surgical laparoscopy from the outset, when working as a consultant surgeon in Queensland. His early experience with cholecystectomy led to pioneering work with herniorrhaphy and anti-reflux surgery. 
He has accrued the largest hernia series in Australasia and has been responsible for training many of his New Zealand colleagues in this procedure. 
 
He continues teaching through courses allied to his busy fulltime private practice and has presented his laparoscopic experience at conferences locally and internationally.
