Gathering international experience, Mr Trapszo spent 18 months, working as a general surgeon in Germany and he subsequently returned to Poland, to continue his general surgical career.

Mr Trapszo has experience and expertise in the management of a wide range of breast disease, both malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous).

He also offers a wide range of breast operation in both malignant and benign conditions, which include oncoplastic operations, if indicated. Oncoplastic operations, through adopting plastic surgery techniques, in breast cancer patients, expand the borders of breast conserving surgery (lumpectomy), whilst maintaining good cosmetic results.

Mr Trapszo also offers breast reconstruction operations using the newest methods of breast implant-based reconstruction with utilization of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), as well as lipofilling and nipple-areola-complex (NAC) reconstruction.
