Gynaecological surgery
Safe, Modern Surgical Solutions for Women’s Health Concerns
When non-surgical treatments are not enough, surgery can offer relief, restore normal function, and improve your quality of life. Dr. Affie Tourani is a skilled and experienced gynaecological surgeon, offering personalised surgical care using the most up-to-date and minimally invasive techniques. Her focus is always on safety, comfort, and outcomes that support your long-term wellbeing.
Why Gynaecological Surgery?
Surgery may be recommended for:
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding that doesn't respond to medication
Fibroids or ovarian cysts causing pain or pressure symptoms
Endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain
Prolapse of the uterus or vaginal walls
Abnormal cervical screening results requiring diagnostic procedures
Fertility-related issues such as blocked fallopian tubes or uterine abnormalities
Contraception procedures (e.g. tubal ligation)
Removal of polyps, scar tissue, or other abnormalities
Dr. Tourani takes time to explain all your options, both surgical and non-surgical, so you can make an informed decision.
Wherever possible, Dr. Tourani uses laparoscopic (keyhole) or hysteroscopic techniques to reduce discomfort and speed up recovery. Benefits include:
Smaller incisions
Less postoperative pain
Shorter hospital stays
Faster return to daily activities
Lower risk of complications
Minimally Invasive Approach
Types of Procedures Offered
Dr. Tourani performs a wide range of procedures, including:
Laparoscopy for endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, or diagnostic purposes
Hysteroscopy to examine or treat issues inside the uterus
Myomectomy (removal of fibroids)
Ovarian cystectomy (removal of ovarian cysts)
Endometrial ablation for heavy periods
Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), when necessary
Pelvic floor repair and prolapse surgery
Cervical procedures, such as LLETZ or cone biopsy
Each treatment is tailored to your symptoms, goals, reproductive plans, and overall health.
Your Experience Matters
Dr. Tourani understands that surgery is a big decision. She ensures you feel fully informed, supported, and cared for before, during, and after your procedure. She takes a collaborative, gentle approach that prioritises your preferences, privacy, and peace of mind.
