What is Gynaecology?
Gynaecology is the area of medicine that deals with health issues and conditions that are specific to women. This generally includes the female reproductive organs and genitalia. The reproductive organs consist of the ovaries that release an egg every month, the fallopian tubes that lead from the ovaries, the uterus (womb), which is where a baby will grow if the egg is fertilised during sexual intercourse, the cervix (opening of the uterus) and the vagina.

Urogynaecology and minimally invasive surgery are my special areas of interest. This includes:

  • Vaginal prolapse
  • Urinary incontinence and other bladder control issues
  • Laparoscopic treatment of Endometriosis
  • Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy
  • Laparoscopic Myomectomy
  • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
  • Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
  • Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy
  • Endometrial ablation
  • Hysteroscopic resection of fibroids etc.

 
Laparoscopy
Many gynaecological investigations and treatments are performed by laparoscopy. This is a procedure to view the inside of the abdomen and pelvis through a specially lit type of mini telescope (laparoscope) that is inserted through a small cut in the abdomen. The laparoscope also contains a small camera that sends pictures to a screen that the doctor can watch.

Surgical procedures (keyhole surgery) can be performed at the same time. A laparoscopy is performed under a general anaesthetic (you are asleep).

Referral Expectations

A referral from your GP for any new gynaecology appointment is required. Your GP will know how to send this.

A referral allows you to be appropriately triaged for an appointment and appropriate investigations can be initiated prior to appointment. This means treatment can be started in a timely manner.

If you have previously been seen for the same problem and want to be seen directly without a referral please speak to the nurse at Wakefield Specialist Centre on 04 920 0155. A discussion with the nurse allows your appointment to be prioritised, tests done prior to appointment and sometimes you may be asked to see your GP first.
