Mr Myles Smith and his colleague Mr Asif Chaudry, a Consultant Upper GI/Oesophagogastric Surgeon based at the Royal Marsden Hospital, appeared in the BBC documentary One Day That Changed My Life. The series follows people that go through dramatic life-changing moments and, in the case of Mark, it was undergoing the first robotic oesophagectomy in the UK using the Da Vinci Surgical Robot. The operation was a success and Mark recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of his surgery.
