Advanced Gynecology Institute

The Advanced Gynecology Institute (AGI) at Burjeel Medical City, Abu Dhabi, is a compendium of complex gynecological care under one roof. The institute branches out into three sections: – Gynecological Oncology, IFEM Endo Middle East Clinic (Franco-European Multidisciplinary Institute of Endometriosis), and Complex Gynecology Care. Our multidisciplinary surgical team of experts will focus exclusively on rare and complex gynecological conditions, endometriosis in all its ramifications, and all aspects of gynecological oncology/precancerous conditions. Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) will be carried out using state-of-the-art 3D laparoscopy and DaVinci robotics, making it a center of quaternary gynecological care. Along with surgical competence, our highly experienced surgeons will be involved in clinical research and training, which will broaden the horizons of the region’s complex gynecology and gynecology cancer care.

Gynecological Oncology 

Gynecological oncology is a subspecialty of gynecology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that affect the female reproductive system. This includes cancers of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, vulva, and vagina. Surgical procedures may range from minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy and robotics to more extensive surgeries such as hysterectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomies, pelvic exenteration to extensive cytoreductive surgical procedures. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often used in combination with surgery to improve the chances of a cure. In addition to treating cancer, our gynecological oncologist also focuses on preserving reproductive function in young patients, managing the side effects of treatment, and improving the quality of life for patients with advanced or recurrent gynecological malignancies.
