What gynaecology services are available at Shirley Oaks Hospital? 

Our consultants provide a complete service, from pre-surgery to aftercare. 

Gynaecological laparoscopy and hysteroscopy 

The gynaecological laparoscope is a small telescope that is used to investigate the pelvic area. This can help a consultant determine what condition you may have. 

A hysteroscopy is performed to look inside the cervix and uterus to diagnose and treat uterine conditions. 

We treat a wide range of conditions, from ovarian cysts to hysterectomies. Some of the most common treatments we perform include: 

Hysterectomy 

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the womb. The procedure can be needed for a variety of reasons. The operation can be performed in three ways: vaginally, abdominally or laparoscopically. 

Vaginal wall repair 

Vaginal wall repair is a procedure used to treat a vaginal prolapse. The vaginal wall can prolapse in two ways, from the front of the vaginal wall (anterior) or from the back wall (posterior). 

An anterior colporrhaphy is the repair to the front of the vaginal wall. The procedure is performed to strengthen it and prevent bulging from the bladder into the vaginal wall. 

The posterior colporrhaphy is the repair to the rear of the vaginal wall. It is performed to strengthen the wall and prevent bulging from the rectum into the vaginal wall. 

Oophorectomy surgery

An oophorectomy is the removal of either one or both of your ovaries. It’s often referred to as a unilateral oophorectomy (one ovary) or a bilateral oophorectomy (both ovaries). 

Sterilisation reversal 

A sterilisation is intended to be permanent. In some cases, a sterilisation reversal is possible, but the outcome is not guaranteed. 

The procedure is performed using keyhole surgery so that it is minimally invasive. The fallopian tubes are reconnected to reverse the sterilisation. 

At Shirley Oaks Hospital, we offer a wide range of gynaecological treatments for various conditions. Our full list of gynaecology treatments that we offer include: 

 


What to expect from your first gynaecology consultation at Shirley Oaks Hospital 

During your initial consultation, your consultant will ask for you for details about your medical history, symptoms, and the issues you’ve been experiencing.  

They may ask you questions during your appointment, such as: 

  • What are your symptoms? 
  • How long have you had these symptoms? 
  • Have you had similar issues or other gynaecological problems in the past? 
  • Have you ever been pregnant/given birth? 
  • Are you currently taking any medication? 

Depending on your symptoms and suspected condition, you may also have an internal pelvic examination. This is so your consultant can physically investigate any signs for concern. 

If your consultant suspects you may have a concern than needs further investigation, further diagnostic scans may be needed. These can include an ultrasound, MRI, CT scans, a hysteroscopy (to look at the lining of the uterus), a colposcopy (to obtain a biopsy from the cervix), or a biopsy (small tissue sample). 

If you have been experiencing issues with your pelvic floor and/or incontinence, you may be referred to one of our urologists for a urodynamics test. This test looks at the function of the bladder, measuring urine flow and bladder pressure. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you will then either be referred to our dedicated physiotherapy team for further guidance about specific pelvic floor exercises, or recommended for surgical intervention by your urologist. 

Once your results have been evaluated, your consultant will meet with you again to discuss your diagnosis and walk you through a personalised treatment plan based on your unique needs.
