What happens at a private gynaecology consultation?
A private gynaecology consultation is an opportunity to explain symptoms, concerns and priorities in detail. The clinician normally reviews relevant medical, menstrual, pregnancy and family history, current medicines, allergies and previous investigations. An examination may be offered when clinically appropriate and only with consent; you can ask questions or pause at any point. Depending on the concern, the next step may involve blood tests, ultrasound or another investigation, a treatment discussion, or referral to a multidisciplinary service. Bring a medication list, relevant letters, scan reports and a short symptom timeline if available. An appointment request is not emergency care, and no diagnosis or treatment recommendation can be made safely through website content alone. You may wish to write down questions beforehand and ask for clarification about alternatives, expected benefits, important risks, recovery, costs and how results will be communicated.

Difference between Open Gynaecology Surgery and Advanced Gynaecological Laparoscopic/Keyhole Surgery
Open Surgery
8-12 inches cut
Big scar on abdomen
Severe trauma and pain
Requires a lot of pain killers for weeks
High risk of infection
Discharge from hospital: 5-7 days
Recovery: 3-6 months
More blood loss (1/2 litre to 2 litres)
Long term risk of severe abdominal adhesions with long-term complications
At present 99.5% of Gynaecologists in the world perform ‘open abdominal surgery’ in Gynaecology.
Dr Salma Kayani is among the very few (0.5%) Advanced Minimal Access Gynaecological Surgeons who performs all her gynaecological procedures through keyhole surgery.
As a Gynaecologist, Dr Salma Kayani is member of the following prestigious International Societies/Organisations:
American Association of Laparoscopic Gynaecologists (AAGL)
European Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE)
British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE)
Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD)
She is also an invited international speaker and international trainer in Advanced Minimal Access Surgery.
Dr Salma Kayani performs live surgical demonstrations of complex advanced minimal access (key hole) procedures in international conferences and seminars.
Dr (Mrs) Salma Kayani’s advanced gynaecological key-hole surgical skills are backed by the following research papers published in reputable international journals.
