Dr Anju Basu is a New Zealand–trained gynaecologist with over 25 years of experience in a variety of Gynaecological conditions. She has specialist expertise in advanced laparoscopic and Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery and the management of complex benign gynaecological conditions.
Dr Basu is credentialed in the Da Vinci robotic surgical system. She has extensive experience in complex endometriosis, pelvic floor disorders, and large fibroid uteri, and regularly manages cases requiring advanced surgical planning and multidisciplinary input. Anju has over 25 years of traditional laparoscopic surgical experience and has performed more than 200 robotic-assisted surgical cases.
She participates in international surgical audit and outcome monitoring.

Practice Philosophy
Dr Basu practices evidence-based, patient-centred gynaecological care with a strong emphasis on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles. Her approach focuses on thorough pre-operative education, optimisation of surgical outcomes, reduced complications, and shorter hospital stays. She works closely with multidisciplinary teams and values clear communication with both patients and referring clinicians.
Gynaecology is the area of medicine that deals with health issues and conditions that are specific to women. This generally includes the female reproductive organs and genitalia. The reproductive organs consist of the ovaries that release an egg every month, the fallopian tubes that lead from the ovaries, the uterus (womb), which is where a baby will grow if the egg is fertilised during sexual intercourse, the cervix (opening of the uterus) and the vagina.
Urogynaecology and minimally invasive surgery are my special areas of interest. This includes:
- Vaginal prolapse
- Urinary incontinence and other bladder control issues
- Laparoscopic treatment of Endometriosis
- Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy
- Robotic assisted complex gynaecological procedures
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
- Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
- Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy
- Endometrial ablation
- Hysteroscopic resection of fibroids etc.
Laparoscopy
Many gynaecological investigations and treatments are performed by laparoscopy. This is a procedure to view the inside of the abdomen and pelvis through a specially lit type of mini telescope (laparoscope) that is inserted through a small cut in the abdomen. The laparoscope also contains a small camera that sends pictures to a screen that the doctor can watch.
Surgical procedures (keyhole surgery) can be performed at the same time. A laparoscopy is performed under a general anaesthetic (you are asleep).
