Surgical Care

Many patients attend with a particular treatment or operation in mind. Emily will discuss all appropriate options and help you decide on the approach that best suits your circumstances.

Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery

Emily is a Level 6 laparoscopic surgeon, the highest laparoscopic accreditation available for Australian gynaecologists.

She performs keyhole surgery for:

  • All stages of endometriosis, including bowel endometriosis.

  • Hysterectomy

  • Ovarian cysts and other ovarian conditions

  • Fibroids (myomectomy)

  • Fallopian tube conditions

  • Ectopic pregnancy

When open surgery is required, Emily is experienced in providing this care.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy uses a small telescope to assess and treat conditions inside the uterus.

Emily offers this for:

  • Investigation of abnormal bleeding

  • Removal of uterine polyps

  • Removal of some types of fibroid

  • Endometrial ablation

  • Treatment of scar tissue (adhesions)

  • Management of uterine abnormalities

  • Assessment and management of IUD-related concerns

Cervical, Vaginal and Vulval Procedures

Emily provides:

  • Colposcopy following abnormal cervical screening results

  • Treatment of pre-cancerous changes of the cervix, vulva and vagina

  • Treatment of Bartholin's cysts and other vulval cysts

  • Vulval biopsies and assessment of skin conditions

Minor Procedures in the Clinic

Many procedures can be performed in the clinic using local anaesthetic and, where appropriate, Penthrox®.

These include:

  • Endometrial biopsy

  • Cervical, vaginal and vulval biopsies

  • Insertion and removal of IUDs (including Mirena® and copper IUDs)

  • Treatment vulval cysts

Pregnancy Loss and Unplanned Pregnancy Care

Emily provides compassionate care for:

  • Miscarriage

  • Retained pregnancy tissue

  • Unplanned pregnancy counselling and management

Abdominal Wall Pain Treatment

Emily offers ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for abdominal wall pain, including during pregnancy when appropriate.

Collaborative Care

Emily believes patients should receive the best care for their individual situation. If another specialist is better placed to provide a particular treatment, she will happily recommend a trusted colleague.

While Emily provides surgery and counselling to optimise fertility and assisted reproductive treatment outcomes, she is not an IVF specialist.

For patients requiring surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, Emily works closely with subspecialist colleagues and will arrange referral when appropriate.
