About me
Mr Ike Okorocha Consultant Gynaecologist BSc (Hons), MB,ChB, FWACS, FMCOG, FRCOG, PG (Cert) Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy
The core of my Higher Specialist Training was in the Oxford region, where I rotated between the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford and the Stoke Mandeville Hospital Aylesbury.
I am interested in all aspects of General Gynaecology and I perform most of my surgery laparoscopically and also by way of other minimal access hysteroscopic techniques.
My Special Clinical Interests include:
• Colposcopy and Vulval diseases
• Minimal Access Surgery including laparoscopic management of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic pain
• Abnormal uterine bleeding and heavy periods including use of various endometrial ablation techniques
• Operative hysteroscopy including hysteroscopic resection of fibroids and polyps.
• Total laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair operations.

Background Information
I have a broad experience and expertise in all aspects of General Gynaecology. After completion of Higher Specialist Training, I was appointed a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at the East Kent NHS Trust. I have gained further experience and qualifications in both laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery and was awarded a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy by the University of Surrey. I am currently the Clinical Lead for the Rapid Access Gynaecological Services at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital as well as the QEQM Hospital, Margate.
In my spare time, I enjoy to play golf and chess.
