PREGNANCY ULTRASOUND

OMNI Ultrasound & Gynaecological Care in Sydney provides rapid access to diagnostic tests for women with pregnancy problems using the most advanced pregnancy ultrasound technology available.

Symptoms warranting a pregnancy ultrasound scan include vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain or both. At OMNI, we see women as soon as they know they are pregnant up to full term.

As the structures in an early pregnancy are so small, transvaginal ultrasound is the best approach for clearly seeing the pregnancy. OMNI uses a highly sensitive internal probe to perform the early pregnancy scan. The clinics run during normal office hours.

Services OMNI provide:

Vomiting in early pregnancy

OMNI provides reassurance scans for women with uncontrollable vomiting in the 1st trimester. Nausea and vomiting are common during pregnancy. Although vomiting in the morning (morning sickness) is typical; nausea or vomiting can occur at any time. These symptoms are thought to occur because of the rise in the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) during the 1st trimester. Levels of serum hCG peak at 12 weeks gestation and thereafter slowly fall off. Consequently, once the woman completes the 1st trimester, these symptoms tend to resolve. Rarely, nausea and vomiting can persist beyond the 1st trimester.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is persistent pregnancy-induced vomiting that occurs during the first 12 – 14 weeks of pregnancy and results in significant dehydration. Under these circumstances, hospital admission, rehydration and anti-emetics may be necessary to control the persistent vomiting. Again, hyperemesis gravidarum with hospital admission is rare after the 1st trimester.

Hyperemesis gravidarum

Pregnancies complicated by hyperemesis gravidarum are thought to have a much higher risk of twin pregnancies and molar pregnancies. As a result, an ultrasound scan is traditionally organised for these women. However, in a recent study we demonstrated that women with hyperemesis gravidarum do not have a higher risk of twin pregnancy and molar pregnancies.

More importantly, the incidence of pregnancy failure was 10 times lower in the hyperemesis gravidarum group compared to the asymptomatic women. Under these circumstances, OMNI offers to perform an ultrasound scan for maternal reassurance.

Using only the latest ultrasound technology, OMNI is able to provide patients with high quality imaging for you and your referring specialist. If you are exhibiting any symptoms that warrant an ultrasound OMNI offers same day scanning to provide patients with peace of mind.

Condous performs Advanced Endosurgery procedures for women needing intervention for pelvic masses, adnexal pathology, severe endometriosis or hysterectomy. He also runs ‘Hands on’ Live Sheep Laparoscopic Workshops for gynaecologists at Camden Veterinarian School.
Having completed an undergraduate degree with the University of Adelaide, he left Australia in 1993 and moved to London where he completed his training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. From 2001 to 2003 Condous worked as a Senior Research Fellow at St George’s Hospital, London. At St George’s he set up the Acute Gynaecology Unit, the first in the United Kingdom. It was also during this time that he developed an interest in Early Pregnancy and especially the management of pregnancies of unknown location (PULs). Condous has developed many mathematical models for the prediction of outcome of PULs which have been featured in numerous peer review journals. In 2005, he returned to Australia where he completed his Laparoscopic Fellowship at the Centre for Advanced Reproductive Endosurgery, Royal North Shore, Sydney.

Condous was appointed as a Consultant Gynaecologist and Senior Lecturer at Nepean Hospital in 2006 and soon was made Associate Professor. In 2010, he was made Departmental Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Nepean Hospital. He obtained the MRCOG in 1999 and was made FRANZCOG in 2005. In 2009, he was awarded his Doctorate in Medicine (MD), University of London, for his thesis entitled: “The management of pregnancies of unknown location and the development of new mathematical models to predict outcome”.

Condous has edited three books including the “Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care”, published over 100 papers in international journals and is internationally renowned for his work in Early Pregnancy. He is the Associate Editor for Gynaecologic Obstetric Investigation, which is a European based journal, as well as the Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (AJUM). He is on the organising committee and is an invited speaker at the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ISUOG) Scientific meeting in Sydney 2013. His current research interests relate to the management of ectopic pregnancy, 1st trimester growth, PULs and miscarriage and the use of transvaginal ultrasound (in particular sonovaginography, to predict posterior compartment deep infiltrating rectovaginal endometriosis).Condous is also actively involved with post-graduate education including the annual running of the Early Pregnancy and Gynaecological Ultrasound Interactive Courses for Sonologists, Radiologists, Sonographers and Gynaecologists in Australia.
