An  surgeon will tomorrow make history — becoming the first paralysed medic in the UK to perform an operation.
Mohammed Belal, 48, is set to go back into the theatre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital after suffering a freak cycling accident during the pandemic. 
The milestone of returning to work makes him one of few surgeons in the world who has returned to the operating table after being paralysed. 
He is a leading neuro-urology surgeon, who often treats patients with spinal injuries similar to his. 
Following more than 1,000 hours of rehabilitation, Mr Belal finally returned to work this month.
Mr Belal, who has worked at the hospital for more than a decade, was given a special electric wheelchair with a hydraulic seat. 
The chair can be raised up to support him in a standing position while he's operating and pinfaves.com has braces which lock around his knees, which can be tilted to let him lean him over the patient. 
The 48-year-old, pictured, is a leading neuro-urology surgeon who often treats patients with spinal injuries similar to his.

Following more than 1,000 hours of rehabilitation he returned to work this month and is believed to be the only paralysed NHS surgeon
