Dr Praveen De Silva

Specialist

Qualifications

MB ChB 2010 Otago; FRANZCOG 2020

Profile

I am a New Zealand born and trained Gynaecologist, with sub-specialist training in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery (keyhole surgery).
My formative years were spent growing up in Wellington, and my medical and specialist training has taken me all around New Zealand. In 2019 I had the privilege of joining the world-leading team at Sydney Women’s Endosurgery Centre (SWEC), to complete a 24-month fellowship — to obtain the sought-after AGES (Australasian Gyanecological Endoscopy and Surgery) qualification. One of my recent professional highlights was conducting a randomized clinical trial using pelvic nerve blocks to reduce post-operative pain for women, for which I won best presentation at the 2021 AGES annual scientific meeting. 
I have recently returned home with my young family, to take up a position at Waitemata DHB, as an advanced endometriosis surgeon. In my free time you will generally find me chasing behind a bicycle or scooter, or trying to convince a toddler of the value of sleep.
