Travelling for Surgery
Patients from different countries across the globe travel to Dr Mitroi for endometriosis surgery. Bucharest Endometriosis Center has put together a guide to provide information about the patient journey.
The process is straightforward. You will be guided by our team every step of the way.
Patients are encouraged to arrive 2-3 days prior to the surgery. This will give them enough time to familiarize with the city/location and to be able to easily navigate the journey to the hospital taxi, bus, walk).
Consultation and Scans
Dr Mitroi does his own scans and he also does internal examinations. Please let him know if it is possible to be on your period.
In person consultation
During the consultation, Dr Mitroi will ask a series of questions about symptoms and medical history and he will also do a gynecology examination.
Note: You do not need a surgical diagnosis to be seen by Dr Mitroi.
Scans
After the examination, Dr Mitroi will do either an abdominal scan or a transvaginal scan. In some cases, he will do both of them.
Chaperone
Should you need to have another person in the room, please let Dr Mitroi know and he will ask one of the nurses to be there.
Important: If you have been sexually abused or if you have had any sort of medical or sexual trauma, please let Dr Mitroi know, and please instruct him on how to proceed with the examination.
Telephone consultation-paid
In some cases Dr Mitroi is able to offer telephone consultation to individuals that prefer to discuss more about their case.
Prior to consultation, please send over:
- your medical history in your own words including symptoms, pain, and what is your primary reasons to have surgery i.e. pain, fertility, both;
- medical records such as scans, or surgery related to your symptoms/condition; an MRI is the most relevant investigation needed
