A surgeon suspended over the deaths of two patients following rushed procedures is set to resume practice after the NSW Medical Council lost its appeal against his reinstatement.

High-profile otolaryngologist Dr William Mooney was barred for 12 months in April 2022 after he was found guilty of professional misconduct over his treatment of two patients, including a 24-year-old man who died two days after surgery to address his snoring.
