Biography
Dr Kapilesh Balachandar is a specialist obstetrician, gynaecologist and advanced endoscopic surgeon. He is passionate about women’s health, providing evidence-based care in obstetrics, office gynaecology and advanced endoscopic (laparoscopic, hysteroscopic and V-NOTES) gynaecological surgery.
Dr Balachandar studied medicine at the University of Sydney after completing a Bachelor of Medical Sciences with first class honours. He subsequently undertook specialist training with the Royal Australia New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) and obtained a fellowship position with the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy and Surgery (AGES) Society, pursuing an interest in minimally invasive (keyhole and vaginal) gynaecological surgery and has the technical skills to perform level six endoscopic (laparoscopic and hysteroscopic) surgeries, which are the highest level of complexity in gynaecological surgeries.He equally enjoys caring for patients through their pregnancies and was drawn to the specialty by the joys of obstetrics. Different stages of pregnancy - from preconception through to the postpartum period - may pose varying challenges for patients and their families so his focus is a supportive, evidence-based approach.
Dr Balachandar is actively involved in teaching, research and clinical governance having been affiliated with and taught through the University of Sydney as an associate clinical lecturer as well as the RANZCOG and AGES Surgical Skills Workshops. He has authored several articles, which have been published in leading peer-reviewed medical journals, and also presented at several national scientific conferences.
He is committed to providing personalised, evidence-based care in a supportive and compassionate environment and believes in working closely with each patient to understand their individual needs and help them make informed decisions about their health.
