Dubbed as the ‘Renaissance man of cardiothoracic surgery, with a healing pair of hands and compassionate heart that restored and repaired other hearts’, the ACTSSL’s first Lifetime Achievement Award went to Dr. Panini Arinda Gooneratne.
In his “impressive” career, among the firsts to Dr. Gooneratne’s credit are performing the first arterial switch operation for the Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA); introducing and establishing paediatric and neonatal open heart surgery; and carrying out procedures such as Rastelli and Sennings operations, aortic arch replacement, aortic root replacement and elephant trunk procedure for aortic aneurysms.
He has also trained the next generation to wield the scalpels, across the country.
