Potential ovarian rejuvenation for older humans

GynaecologyBy Michael Cooper09/03/2020Leave a comment

Exciting new research in mice ovaries has revealed that it might be possible to rejuvenate egg quality in human females as they age. It has been known for many years that human egg quality deteriorates from the age of 35 accelerating from the age of 40. This results in falling spontaneous pregnancy rates and increasing…

Haptics (or the sense of feel) and robotic surgery

Endometriosis, Gynaecology, Robotic Surgery, SurgeryBy Michael Cooper21/01/2020Leave a comment

Whilst surfing the internet over the weekend I came across an article about endometriosis and robotic surgery written by one of the legends of gynaecological laparoscopic surgery, Dr Harry Reich. A man who I am delighted to have met and can call a friend and who has in many ways shaped my surgical career. He…

A cautionary tale about adenomyosis, difficult surgical decisions and when to focus on what you have.

Adenomyosis, Gynaecology, SurgeryBy Michael Cooper03/12/2018Leave a comment

I have recently seen a patient who has been placed in a most unfortunate position. This lady has been in a happy, stable relationship for over 15 years and has been attempting to conceive unsuccessfully for most of that time. Aged 41 when I first met her, she was born with a congenital bowel issue…

Adenomyosis: A potential significant problem

Adenomyosis, Endometriosis, GynaecologyBy Michael Cooper03/12/2018Leave a comment

This under-researched condition, possibly a variant of endometriosis, can be a critical consideration particularly for patients with endometriosis. The definition is of endometrial glands and stroma growing within the myometrium of the uterus or in other words not dissimilar to endometriosis but growing in the wrong part of the uterus. I liken it to having…

It’s time to separate Obstetrics from Gynaecology

Gynaecology, ObstetricBy Michael Cooper17/07/2014Leave a comment

A recent editorial article in the American literature has called for the separation of obstetrics from gynaecology.   This sentiment has been raised increasingly around the western world as a consequence of a decrease in the overall number of operations performed and an increase in the number of surgeons. The situation has arisen as a result…

Endometriosis, Gynaecology, Medical, SurgeryBy Michael Cooper17/05/2014Leave a comment

Our recent paper has just been published: Bowel and bladder function after resection of deeply infiltrating endometriosis. Responding to our questionnaire, women reported significant improvement in urinary and bowel dysfunction postoperatively.

HPV and the risk of cervical, oropharyngeal and anal cancer

Gynaecology, MedicalBy Michael Cooper17/12/2012Leave a comment

It has been well established that oncogenic (cancer causing) strains of HPV are the cause of cancer of the cervix and in fact it could probably be considered a form of sexually transmitted disease.  Over the last few years vaccines have become available (Gardasil and Cervarix) for the prevention of HPV related cervical cancer.  Gardasil…

Ovarian transplantion

Fertility, Gynaecology, Medical, SurgeryBy Michael Cooper18/08/2012Leave a comment

A recent media report of ovarian transplantation with subsequent infertile women conceiving has raised great interest at a conference in Istanbul. (“Ovary transplant breakthrough lets women gives birth in older age – SMH – 5 July 2012”).   28 babies were born to infertile women who had ovarian tissue transplanted.  I have heard the lead surgeon, Dr…

Premenstrual spotting and endometriosis

Endometriosis, GynaecologyBy Michael Cooper18/08/2012Leave a comment

Premenstrual spotting is an important characteristic sign of endometriosis.  It usually takes the form of dark or brown staining or spotting lasting more than 12 hours prior to menstruation beginning normally.   This association has been known about for some time but has not been well appreciated by doctors or gynaecologists.  There appears to be…

Endometriosis, Gynaecology, MedicalBy Michael Cooper17/08/2012Leave a comment

Over the last few years I have travelled to Hong Kong and China to operate and run surgical workshops where I have had the honour of teaching and working with other specialist gynaecological surgeons. I am registered as a specialist gynaecologist in Hong Kong and have been accredited to operate as an advanced level laparoscopic…
