About
Following my GP’s concerns around my lower abdominal bloating and pain, I was seen by Mr Clemens von Widekind. To my complete surprise I had a 5 cm cyst on my right ovary which proved to be a right ovarian endometrioma and required a Laparoscopic right Oophorectomy and bilateral salpingectomy under general anaesthetic, as part of a day surgery. Within 4 weeks of diagnoses, I had the procedure in the morning and by the end of the afternoon I was up and about, and on my way home. I followed the medical advice and kept to light duties and plenty of rest, this enabled me to be back to my normal routine within 2 weeks. 3 weeks following the procedure I was discharged from Mr Clemens von Widekind and considered the procedure a success. From initial consultation through to final post procedure review, I felt reassured and supported in every aspect of my care by Mr Clemens von Widekind. His gentle professional manner and clear logical communication enabled me to understand what was happening within my body and appreciate the need for the procedure. At all times I felt complete ownership over decisions, any worries or concerns I had were very quickly addressed so as to not feel any anxiety or confusion. I would 100% recommend Mr Clemens von Widekind, he is not only an expert in his profession, but also an extremely kind and considerate person. Thank you Mr Clemens von Widekind.
