Experience leading edge gynaecological expertise from our dedicated specialists

We also treat menstrual and menopause disorders and we help women experiencing incontinence, a common problem, especially following childbirth.

Our gynaecologists

Many Australian gynaecologists consult on site at a St Vincent’s Private Hospital or are located nearby.

Our gynaecologists are amongst Australia’s leading and most respected practitioners, who have all undergone a rigorous process of assessment prior to gaining admitting privileges to our hospitals.

Our gynaecologists have interests and expertise in many aspects of gynaecology including urogynaecology and gynaecological cancer.

At St Vincent’s Private Hospitals we help women with a wide range of issues including:

Abnormal cervical screening test/PAP smear
Cancer and pre-cancerous diseases of the reproductive organs
Menstrual disorders
Infertility
Prolapse of pelvic organs
Infections of the vagina, cervix and uterus
Urinary tract infections
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Endometriosis
Menopause

Our gynaecological surgeries and procedures include:

Surgery for fibroids and uterine dysfunction
Procedures to treat urinary incontinence
Treatment of abnormal pap smears
Colposcopy
Treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome
Treatment of ovarian cysts
Treatment of ectopic pregnancy
Treatment of endometriosis
Hysterectomy

Your gynaecologist may recommend this procedure to view the inside of your uterus.

It can help diagnose conditions such as fibroids as well as investigate the cause of heavy periods, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, recurrent miscarriages and infertility.

The procedure is done using a hysteroscope, a narrow tube with a light and camera at the tip. Your gynaecologist guides the instrument into your uterus via your vagina. It sends images to a monitor so the doctor can see any abnormalities in your uterus.

Colposcopy: investigation of abnormal pap smear results

Colposcopy enables your gynaecologist to view and take biopsies from your vulva, vagina and cervix. Unlike hysteroscopy, colposcopy doesn’t extend to the inside of your uterus. It’s often used to follow up an abnormal pap smear result.

Hysterectomy means removal of your uterus or womb. Your gynaecologist may recommend a hysterectomy for a number of reasons including fibroids, pelvic pain, prolapse of your uterus or cancer.

You may also consider having a hysterectomy if you carry the BRACA1 or BRACA2 gene for breast cancer to lower your cancer risk.

There are at least 4 different types of hysterectomy and it can be performed through an incision in your abdomen or through your vagina. If you’re considering having a hysterectomy, be sure to discuss the details and your preferences with your specialist.

Our gynaecology services are surgical and include:

Hysterectomies - abdominal and vaginal
Anterior / posterior vagina repair
Debulking tumours
Burch colposuspension
Transvaginal slings
Manchester repairs

Urogynaecology and urodynamics

A number of the our gynaecologists are certified urogynaecologists which means they can help with incontinence, bladder overactivity and difficulty urinating.

Minimally-invasive surgery

Most of the our gynaecologists specialise in advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic (‘keyhole’ or minimally-invasive) surgeries. These procedures are used for diagnosing and treating endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, removal of fibroids, hysterectomy, ectopic pregnancy, urogynaecological conditions, certain forms of cancer, and more.

Robot-assisted gynaecological surgery

We also have specialists with expertise in robot-assisted surgery who use the latest Da Vinci XI robot. What does this mean for our patients? The patient results have been extremely optimistic — outcomes include smaller incisions with significantly less invasive surgery, fewer post-operative complications, reduced pain and decreased hospital stay.

Your GP can refer you to one of our gynaecologists.
