Conditions Treated

A/Prof Cario has built a reputation based on experience and confidence in both public and private obstetrics and gynaecology. Very few gynaecological surgeons have this combined experience. He now concentrates on all gynaecology and in particular his specialty interest in the latest advances in minimally invasive surgery and urogynaecology. This allows him to deal with all aspects of women’s health and base his surgical results in particular on years of follow up.
