Expert Gynaecological Care in Liverpool and Greater Sydney
Most women who find their way here have already waited. Waited through GP appointments that ended in "let's monitor it." Waited through pain that was labelled anxiety. Waited through bleeding that was dismissed as hormonal fluctuation.
If you're looking for a gynaecologist in Liverpool who not only diagnoses complex gynaecological conditions but also has the expertise to surgically treat them when needed, you are in the right place. This practice offers comprehensive, patient-centred care focused on finding answers and delivering the right treatment.
Surgical Expertise, Not Just Clinical Opinion
Dr Tanushree Rao holds MBBS, MS, MICOG, MRCOG (UK), and FRANZCOG qualifications. She is an AGES-accredited advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgeon, currently practising as a Staff Specialist at Liverpool Hospital, Sydney.
That is not a profile summary. It means she has met a defined operative standard for minimally-invasive gynaecological surgery, one recognised across Australia and the United Kingdom.
For women dealing with complex pelvic conditions, the difference between a physician who manages and a surgeon who excises is not a minor one.
Conditions Treated At This Practice
Patients presenting here typically carry one of the following diagnoses or are still waiting on one.
Endometriosis
Stage 3 and Stage 4 endometriosis involving the rectum, bladder, and pelvic sidewall requires a surgeon who has operated in that anatomy before. As an endometriosis specialist in Liverpool, Dr Rao performs fertility-conserving robotic excisions, rectal shavings, and lateral window dissections. These are not standard laparoscopic procedures.
Fibroids
A fibroid measuring 20cm with distorted uterine anatomy is a different clinical problem from one picked up incidentally on ultrasound. As a fibroid specialist in Liverpool, the approach here is surgical where indicated. Cases documented on this site reflect that scope. The practice also manages complex cases requiring large fibroid removal, using minimally-invasive techniques wherever clinically appropriate.
Ovarian cysts
Persistent or complex ovarian cysts require more than watchful waiting. As an ovarian cyst specialist in Liverpool, Dr Rao assesses cyst morphology, surgical risk, and fertility implications before recommending a pathway.
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Irregular or heavy bleeding has structural causes that a blood test will not identify. As a uterine bleeding specialist in Liverpool and a gynaecologist for heavy bleeding, the diagnostic process here begins with direct uterine cavity assessment, not empirical hormonal therapy.
Hysteroscopy
Uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions are visible only through direct visualisation. As a hysteroscopy specialist in Liverpool, Dr Rao performs both diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy as part of the investigative pathway. Patients looking for hysteroscopy services in Sydney can access both diagnostic and operative procedures according to their condition.
Chronic pelvic pain
Pelvic pain that has persisted across multiple GP visits, two or three imaging studies, and no clear diagnosis almost always has a structural component that has not been looked at directly. As a pelvic pain specialist in Liverpool, the assessment process here includes laparoscopic evaluation when imaging is inconclusive.
Robotic and Minimally-Invasive Surgery
Robotic hysterectomy in Liverpool is available for women with conditions requiring uterine removal. Robotic-assisted surgery offers finer intraoperative control than conventional laparoscopy. This matters in cases where fibroids have significantly altered pelvic anatomy or where stage 3 to 4 endometriosis is present alongside the hysterectomy indication.
Patients typically experience less blood loss and a shorter postoperative hospital stay compared to open abdominal hysterectomy. The surgical approach is determined at consultation, after a full review of imaging and clinical history.
For women exploring robotic hysterectomy in Sydney, consultations include a detailed evaluation to determine whether robotic-assisted surgery is the most suitable treatment option.
Consulting A Female Gynaecologist
Some women prefer to be seen by a female gynaecologist in Liverpool. That is a clinical preference, not an administrative one. Gynaecological consultations involve physical examination, disclosure of intimate symptoms, and decisions about procedures that affect pelvic function. Comfort during that consultation directly affects the accuracy of the history taken.
Dr Rao's practice accepts self-referrals and GP referrals.
In addition to the Liverpool clinic, consultations are also available at Kogarah and Macquarie Park locations, making it easier for women across Sydney to access expert gynaecological care.
