Combining Surgical Excellence with genuine care

I have dedicated over 25 years of my career to the techniques of Advanced Laparoscopy. With extensive training and experience across all aspects of this field, I am accredited with the highest level of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery — RANZCOG Level VI (Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists).

I am a passionate advocate for laparoscopy because of the many advantages it offers women:

  • Minimal scar formation
  • Faster recovery
  • Less post-operative pain

Through smaller incisions and refined surgical techniques, advanced laparoscopy provides women with safer procedures, less scarring, and a faster recovery.

What is a Laparoscopy?

How advanced laparoscopic surgery is performed and what recovery involves.

How It Is Performed

A Laparoscopy is performed under General Anaesthetic. The procedure involves:

  • Introducing gas into the abdomen

  • Placing a camera (laparoscope) through the umbilical port

  • Inserting instruments through 5mm incisions (other ports)

This allows me to examine the entire pelvis, including:
  • Ovaries
  • Fallopian Tubes
  • Pelvic side walls (beds in which the ovaries lie)
  • Pouch of Douglas (base of the pelvis)
  • Bladder
  • Appendix

Procedures Performed

Many surgical procedures can be completed during the laparoscopy, such as:

  • Removal of Ovarian Cysts

  • Excision of Endometriosis

  • Division of Adhesions

  • Hysterectomy

  • Tubal Ligation (Sterilisation)

Recovery & Aftercare

At the end of the procedure a drain is placed to allow gas to escape and most patients stay in hospital overnight.

  • Rest for 10–12 days after surgery

  • Pain relief medication will be provided

  • I am always available if you have questions or concerns

Follow-Up Appointment

After 10 days, I will see you again to:
  • Review your recovery progress
  • Go through surgical pictures
  • Discuss any associated pathology
