gynaecology.me - Mr Shaheen Khazali

I was diagnosed with one of the worst case of endometriosis back in 2004 and had my first open surgery back then with a different doctor and in a different country. I then carried on with treatment of my recurring endometriosis by alternating the mirena coil and lupron injections. I was told that I needed a second surgery but avoided it all costs because I couldn't a find a surgeon that made me feel confident about the results of my procedure. In January 2018, my endometriosis worsened (with a vengeance) and the doctors discovered that I had fibroids in my uterus that was causing excessive bleeding and bloating of my lower tummy and was told I needed a hysterectomy and possibly the removal of my ovaries. After asking around, I was recommended to see Dr. Khazali. I knew from the very moment I met him that he was the right surgeon for my complicated procedure and that I would be in good hands. He was straight and honest with me about what to expect from my procedure and what may happen. I felt confident knowing that I found an expert in endometriosis who specialised in complicated procedures like mine. I was operated by Dr. Khazali in April 2018 and my procedure was successful despite its complications (my uterus had grown 2x its size and was partially stuck to my bowel, therefore I had to undergo open instead of keyhole surgery); although we spoke about trying to save my ovaries during our consultations, my ovaries unfortunately were removed due to the endometriosis. I did not experience any post operation complications and my recovery has been surprisingly faster than what I expected and successful.
