Monash University’s Professor Luk Rombauts has been
announced as President-elect of the World Endometriosis Society and will step into the role of President of the Society from
2020.
An Adjunct Clinical Professor in the Department of
Obstetrics & Gynaecology, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, and
Head of Reproductive Medicine at Monash Health, Professor Rombauts’ main
clinical focus is the treatment of patients dealing with reproductive issues.
“A large focus in my practice is on assisted reproductive
technologies, such as IVF, but also minimally invasive surgery for advanced
endometriosis, reproductive microsurgery to reverse tubal ligations and
vasectomies, and the management of patients who have suffered recurrent
miscarriages,” Professor Rombauts said.
With research interests closely aligned with his clinical
practice, Professor Rombauts is developing clinically useful tests to determine
optimal uterine receptivity, as well as identifying the best clinical pathways
to diagnose and treat endometriosis early and safely.
Professor Rombauts said his nomination as President-elect
for the World Endometriosis Society was very unexpected.
“The nomination committee felt I deserved the gong because
of my long service on the board as the editor of the Society’s eJournal and my
strong advocacy for more and better research in evidence-based care for women
with endometriosis,” he said.
“It’s an enormous privilege to follow in the footsteps of
many of my role models in medicine, including Professor Hans Evers, Professor
Paolo Vercellini and Professor Linda Giudice.”
Professor Rombauts is also Group Medical Director for Monash
IVF Group, one of the largest groups of IVF units in the world, and
Vice-President of the Fertility Society Australia.
