Gynaecological Surgery
Dr Eskander has over 40 years experience in all gynaecological surgery, including surgery for fibroid i.e. myomectomies, hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal and endometriosis. The operations are performed at the Hospital of St Johns and St Elizabeth, a large hospital in St John’s Wood renowned for its excellence and passionate care.
Key Hole surgery (or Laparoscopic surgery)
Dr Eskander has been performing keyhole surgery since 1978. A key hole surgery is performed through small 0.5-1 cm incisions, usually 3-4 in the lower abdomen either to explore and make a diagnosis or to carry out a surgical procedure. It uses images displayed on TV monitors for magnification of the surgical elements.
Key hole surgery is usually performed as a day surgery and allows you to go home the same day or after 24 hours.
Where possible, we prefer to remove cysts, fibroids, treat endomertiosis or dissect adhesions by key hole surgery.
