DR ADAM PENDLEBURY
Dr Adam Pendlebury is a gynaecologist and gynaecological oncologist based in Melbourne, Victoria. He specialises in the surgical management of complex gynaecological conditions, including abnormal cervical screening tests (colposcopy), ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and cancers of the female reproductive system (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva).
Adam undertook his general training in obstetrics and gynaecology at the Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg, Melbourne, before completing advanced surgical training in gynaecology and gynaecological oncology at the Mercy Hospital for Women, Melbourne, the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Mater Hospital Brisbane, King Edward Memorial Hospital, Perth, as well as the Cleveland Clinic in the US. The emphasis of his training has been on the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques – both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures (including the innovative da Vinci® robotic system).

INFORMATION FOR REFERRERS
Adam accepts referrals for both general gynaecology and gynae-oncology cases, with a particular interest in complex surgical cases and minimally invasive surgery.
Adam is one of only a few gynaecological oncologists in Australia who has completed advanced training in robotic-assisted surgery. If you have a patient who is specifically interested in this mode of management, Adam can provide the specialist advice they are seeking. However, managing the expectations of patients in advance is important, as not all cases are amenable to robotic surgery. For more information, please see the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ (RANZCOG) position statement on this topic.
