For major surgical procedures, another medical practitioner is required to assist your primary surgeon. This is the role of the Surgical Assistant.
​
​Typically, the Surgical Assistant's fee will be included in your quote and paid directly to them by your surgeon. In the event that this differs you will be informed by your primary surgeon's reception staff. Please familiarise yourself with our Surgical Assistants below.

Vaginal PessariesVaginal pessaries can be helpful in reducing the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. They can help you to more comfortably participate in activities that are meaningful to you, and allow you to be more physically active. Once a pessary is fitted, it is important that you can walk, pass urine and open your bowels normally. A well fitting pessary should not be uncomfortable, and sometimes a number of trials may be required to find the right fit for you. You may be prescribed vaginal oestrogen to use while your pessary is in place. This should be used twice per week, at night, before going to bed or as directed by your Specialist. You will need to return to the Rooms for follow up and a change of pessary at regular intervals, depending on the type of pessary placed. Please contact the Rooms if you experience any abnormal vaginal bleeding whilst your pessary is in place. If your pessary falls out, don’t panic! This can happen from time to time if you are straining or in certain positions. If this occurs, simply wash it and bring it to your next appointment.
