Virtuoso’s minimally invasive approach is an extremely comfortable fit for Brad Chittenden. He is a gynaecologist who specialises in laparoscopic treatment.
Brad undertook his basic medical training in South Africa, then pursued a career in Laparoscopic Gynaecological surgery in the UK where he trained under a foremost laparoscopic surgeon. He is the only gynaecologist in Tauranga who has received advanced training in laparoscopy and has been certified by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for doing so.
He is also the only gynaecologist in Tauranga able to provide a laparoscopic approach to hysterectomy, a technique shown to be vastly superior to what are now considered outdated techniques. Furthermore, he is able to provide a fully comprehensive approach to heavy menstrual bleeding that can be tailored to a patient’s exact requirements. He can offer all options, from endometrial resection to myomectomy to hysterectomy.
The management of endometriosis often requires surgery. The gold standard of surgical care for endometriosis is by a team of laparoscopic surgeons. This team comprises a laparoscopic gynaecologist, colorectal and urological surgeons. Virtuoso is unique in that women can access such a team under one roof.
