Stage IV Endometriosis, which significantly impacts the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems, necessitates the involvement of a robust multidisciplinary team, regardless of the complexity of the surgical procedure.

In this instance, I am collaborating with Dr. Amanda Chung, an esteemed urologist, and Dr. Henry Cheung, a highly skilled colorectal surgeon, as we conduct a critical minor procedure in preparation for an extensive robotic surgery. The preoperative multidisciplinary assessment is thorough and may include examinations under anesthesia, cystoscopy, hysteroscopy, and sigmoidoscopy, ensuring that we leave no stone unturned in providing the best possible care for our patients.

Medicine is filled with countless heartwarming moments, but nothing compares to the profound validation I receive from my patients. I am deeply thankful to each of them for allowing me the privilege to support their journeys and for placing their trust in both me and the process. Receiving thoughtful cards like this during my ward rounds not only brightens my day but also inspires me to fully commit to my passion: endometriosis excision surgery.

I am excited to introduce Dr. Michael Booker, an indispensable member of our team when it comes to surgical care for my patients. As one of our esteemed Anaesthetists at Inner West Women's and Children, Michael has been dedicated to ensuring the safety and comfort of our patients since 2022. Our shared journey began during our registrar years at St. George Hospital, and we both honed our skills as fellows at Westmead Hospital in 2021.

Michael's completion of an Obstetric Anaesthetic fellowship speaks volumes about his expertise and the trust he instils in both our patients and our colleagues. His calming presence and light-hearted approach make a significant difference, putting those undergoing surgery at ease and enhancing their overall experience. With Michael by our side, we can be confident that our patients are in the best possible hands.

I never liked dentists. However, eight years ago, everything changed when I met Dr. Kingston Soo, the principal dentist at Summer Hill Smiles and Petersham Smiles.
Dr. Soo's unwavering support and reassurance helped me confront my fears, making each of my numerous dental procedures far more manageable. Our professional relationship blossomed into a strong friendship over the years. In addition to his exceptional dental care, he also recommended the talented renovation team that transformed Inner West Women's and Children's, showcasing his commitment to overall community well-being.

No rest for the Wicked!
Today at The Mater, I had the privilege of collaborating with outstanding surgical colleagues Dr Cheung and Dr Arora on some remarkable cases.
We successfully completed two Stage IV Robotic Excisions of Endometriosis, along with a Robotic Ventral Rectopexy and Sacrocolpopexy. It was a demanding yet incredibly rewarding day.
For those who may not be aware, I also provide Advanced Robotic Gynaecological Surgery at Mater Hospital, ensuring the highest standard of care for my patients.

Join me this February in raising awareness for Ovarian Cancer.

According to Ovarian Cancer Australia, only 31% of Australians know that ovarian cancer has the poorest survival rate of any female cancer in Australia. This disease suffers from a lack of awareness and progress, making it important to spread evidence-based information so Australians are aware of this disease.

Remember, early detection is key, and understanding the signs can lead to early diagnosis and better outcomes.

Let's raise awareness and support women's health!

Currently I am engaged in supervisory and mentoring roles at UNSW, overseeing medical students and serving as a training supervisor for Core FRANZCOG Trainees and Minimally Invasive Gynaecology/AGES Fellows at Liverpool Hospital.

Additionally, I contribute to the selection panel for AGES (Complex Pelvic Surgery) fellows at Liverpool Hospital and serve as a surgeon mentor/supervisor for the AGES (Sydney Minimally Invasive Gynaecology) fellow at Sutherland Hospital.

Guiding the next generation of gynecologists and obstetric practitioners in Australia and New Zealand is a responsibility I hold with pride. Beyond traditional settings, I emphasise the development of surgical skills and manual precision in unconventional spaces such as the kitchen and the garden.

As an accredited AHPRA supervisor, I also extend my mentorship to international medical graduates undergoing supervised training in Australia.

I am excited about the opportunities 2024 holds in my mentorship and teaching journey. I can't wait to see the growth and accomplishments that lie ahead. Here's to a year of inspiration, learning, and making a lasting impact in the world of medicine.

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month.

Women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74 years of age are invited to have a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years through their healthcare provider.

If you haven't had a test in the past five years, try to make the time to get one!

Dr Dan is an experienced colposcopist, combining cutting-edge medical technology with compassionate care to help manage and treat abnormal cervical screening test results.
