Dr Hanna has a busy practice providing broad ranging expertise in all aspects of gynaecology. He consults with patients Monday through to Thursday in his rooms at Wahroonga. He understands that patients are often anxious about consulting a gynaecologist, especially for the first time. His friendly manner quickly puts new patients at ease.

Dr Hanna has extensive experience in gynaecological procedures. His experience encompasses:

• Laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery) for the treatment of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, tubal ligation, fibroids, hysterectomy
  
• Hysteroscopy to examine the uterine cavity and hysteroscopic resection of fibroids and uterine septum
  
• LLETZ procedure for abnormal cervical screening tests
  
• Endometrial ablation for heavy periods
  
• Repair of utero-vaginal prolapse
  
• Hysterectomy, which may be performed as an open or a laparoscopic procedure

If you require surgery, Dr Hanna operates weekly. He will give you reading material and will happily answer all your questions.

Fees and charges for surgical procedures are explained at the time of the appointment prior to the procedure.

Minimally invasive (or laparoscopic) surgery is performed through small incisions, instead of large ones. With smaller incisions, recovery time tends to be quicker and patients can expect to experience less discomfort compared to conventional surgery. This type of surgery requires specialised training in laparoscopic techniques.

Please remember to bring your doctor’s referral to your initial gynaecology appointment. This will enable you to obtain a Medicare rebate if you are an Australian resident.

 

Dr Hanna’s obstetric commitments may necessitate him being called away from the consulting rooms to attend to a patient in the Delivery Suite. When this happens it is sometimes necessary for us to reschedule your appointment.
