Gynecological surgery: consultation and preparation in Tel Aviv
Hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, fibroids, cysts, hysterectomy and prolapse. Dr Jonathan Ouahba is both a gynecologist and a surgeon, and follows the pathway from diagnosis through to postoperative care.
When to come in
- Surgery has been proposed and you want to understand the reasoning
- A uterine fibroid causing bleeding, pressure or pain
- An ovarian cyst under surveillance or that is growing
- Heavy bleeding that has not responded to medical treatment
- An abnormality of the uterine cavity: polyp, septum, adhesions
- Prolapse or a feeling of pelvic heaviness
- Preparation for an operation, or its follow-up
How the consultation works
- 1
The assessment. The conversation, the examination, the ultrasound when indicated and a review of tests already done make it possible to take stock of your situation. The first question is whether an operation is genuinely needed.
- 2
The decision. The options are discussed with you: what each can offer, its limits and its risks, and also what may follow if nothing is done. Not operating, or postponing an operation, are options to be weighed too.
- 3
Preparation. If an operation is decided on, the tests required, the medications to continue or stop and how the operation will go are explained beforehand.
- 4
Postoperative follow-up. Care continues after the operation: postoperative consultations, the results of any analyses, and support through to returning to normal activity. You are cared for by the same doctor before the operation, in the operating room and afterwards.
Frequently asked questions

Hysteroscopy examines and treats from inside the uterine cavity, through the natural route, without an incision. Laparoscopy goes through small abdominal incisions and allows the ovaries, fibroids and endometriosis to be treated.
Yes, and it is a reason to come in its own right. It helps to bring all the records: imaging reports, letters and any previous operative reports.
