Personal Profile
Mr Robertson has a special interest in diseases of the nose and sinuses (rhinology), however he still treats all general ENT conditions.
Innovation in surgical treatments is constantly improving patient outcomes. Mr Robertson is an enthusiastic proponent of cutting edge treatments. Balloon sinuplasty is a novel technique for treating chronic sinusitis. He has been to New York and Madrid to study this exciting new surgical procedure and has pioneered its introduction into NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Nasal allergy affects 1 in 4 people in the UK, current medications are effective and safe however, they are not acceptable to everyone. Immunotherapy either by mouth or injection is an alternative treatment that Mr Robertson is able to advise on and administer. Allergy testing is important in the management of nasal disease and can be easily carried out at an outpatient consultation.
Mr Robertson has published widely in professional journals. He maintains an interest in research and is currently the West of Scotland coordinator for the national chronic rhino sinusitis epidemiology study (C.R.E.S.). He has also been a reviewer for the clinical anatomist journal and is an active member of the British Rhinological Society.
