About

Dr Gopalan Poovalingam is an obstetrician and gynaecologist with a focus on gynaecology. They are skilled in performing minimally invasive advanced laparoscopy and hysteroscopy surgery. Dr Poovalingam is passionate about providing high-quality gynaecological services to patients.
Dr Poovalingam is a proponent of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as laparoscopy and tries to avoid open surgery as much as possible. This includes when dealing with more complex cases. Their experience in MIS leads to shorter hospital stays for patients and a significant reduction in complications.
Dr Poovalingam is one of a small group of gynaecologists in Melbourne who uses the Rapid Recovery After Gynaecological Surgery (RRGS) programme. RRGS is a multi-team approach that focuses on decreasing or eliminating the adverse effects associated with surgical procedures. This, therefore, improves the outcome of the surgery and increases patient satisfaction.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
