Mr Mohamed Mabrouk 2020-12-05 Person 5 5 0

Mr Mabrouk is my endometriosis consultant at Addenbrooke's Hospital. He is the first doctor who properly listened to my concerns in 26 years. He answered all my endless questions and made me feel like my opinion counted. I on the other hand felt that he was fully committed to excising all disease found. He has a very warm manner and made me feel I was in safe hands. I'm writing this 5 days post op, well aware it's early days, but despite feeling some pain where extensive endometriosis excision was done, the deep pelvic ache I've had for years is gone now, just like that. Mr Mabrouk and his team managed to conserve both my ovaries, removing an endometrioma and suspending them to stop them adhering back to my abdominal wall. He performed wide excision of all endometriosis found and a nerve sparing hysterectomy for Adenomyosis complicated by my uterus being attached to my bladder. There is a great multi disciplinary team at the Cambridge Endometriosis Endoscopic Surgery Unit now, with the required specialist skills in advanced laparoscopic surgery. I'm very grateful I've managed to have my surgery there. After my op I was on Daphne ward and was very well looked after, the nurses and other staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble.
