Surgery can be a beneficial option for effective and long-term health improvement.
Surgical Expertise
Da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
Dr. Schmid acquired his certificate in Robotic Surgery in 2014, at a time when only a very small number of gynaecologists in Australia had embraced this technology. He uses the advanced Da Vinci® surgical system for precise gynaecological procedures, which provides enhanced flexibility, superior mobility, and high-definition 3D imaging — allowing him to focus directly on you. We use da Vinci® technology for:
Removal of the uterus (Total hysterectomy)
Ovarian cysts or masses
Minimally invasive procedures offer numerous benefits over traditional (open) surgeries, including faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, less pain, and minimal scarring. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Laparoscopic Resection of Endometriosis or Ovarian Cysts
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where Dr Schmid uses a small camera (called a laparoscope) to see inside the belly. This allows the surgeon to perform operations through tiny incisions and to remove endometriosis and ovarian cysts. This advanced technique allows for precise and safe removal of affected tissue. The benefits include quicker recovery times, less pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. Patients typically experience less discomfort and can return to their normal activities much faster. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.
Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy
Colposcopy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure on the office where a doctor uses a special magnifying device to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease. Used for an abnormal PAP smear or other reasons. If abnormal areas are seen, a cervical biopsy may be performed to remove a small tissue sample for further testing.
Benefits:
Early detection of abnormalities
Accurate diagnosis
Quick and relatively painless procedure
Minimal recovery time
These procedures help in the early detection and treatment of potential issues, ensuring better health outcomes. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.
Contraceptive Advice and IUD Insertion
Dr. Schmid provides expert contraceptive counseling tailored to your individual needs, helping you choose the most suitable option for your lifestyle and health. He specializes in the insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs), offering both hormonal and non-hormonal options for reliable and long-term contraception. With a patient-centered approach and precision techniques, Dr. Schmid ensures a comfortable and safe procedure. If you have questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
(Removal of the uterus)
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where Dr Schmid uses a special instrument called a laparoscope to get a clear view of the uterus and surrounding organs. This allows for the safe and precise removal of the uterus. The benefits include a quick recovery time, minimal pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. Patients typically experience less discomfort and can return to their normal activities much faster. A laparoscopic procedure needs rarely conversion to an open procedure. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.
Endometrial Ablation and Resection of Polyps
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. It works by permanently preventing the lining of the uterus (endometrium) from growing. This treatment can significantly reduce menstrual bleeding, make periods lighter, or stop them completely. Women can usually return to normal activities the next day. However, it is not suitable for women who wish to become pregnant in the future. Additionally, resection of polyps helps remove growths from the uterine lining, further improving symptoms. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.
