Michael Wynn-Williams EXPERT ADVICE.
Michael Wynn-Williams flew to New Zealand especially for the practical tuturial introducing the latest surgical techniques, instruments and offering pearls of wisdom to other gynaecologists. He performed two complex keyhole surgeries at the hospital and projected images from the laparoscope were projected to the television in the hospitals conference room where 15 specialists watched and listened to his commentary. Dr. Wynn-Williams originally from Christchurch regularly performs complex surgeries at his private practice in Brisbane. He receives referrals throughout Queensland and the sheer number of surgeries has allowed him to develop specialist skills and become a leading expert in his field. Michael is the husband of Clare O'Malley daughter of Pat and Leonie (nee Dougherty) O'Malley formally of Waiau North Canterbury. They have two sons Charlie and Thomas great grandsons of Leo and Eileen Dougherty.
Brisbane gynaecologist Michael Wynn-Williams shared his knowledge with specialists from all over the country.
