Woman’s Genitals Mutilated By Gynecologist Looking For Cancerous Lesion
The doctor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is standing trial in the Sydney District Court. He has also been accused of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm on the woman.
The Court heard that Ms Carolyn De Waegenaire, 58. had a cancer that required a small amount of skin to be removed from her genital area in a simple operation, but he removed a lot more.
He told a nurse it did not matter that he had cut out the patient's clitoris, because her husband was dead.
But the doctor has pleaded not guilty, and today his barrister told the jury his client performed the operation because he was “trying to save her life”.
Deputy Senior Crown Prosecutor Margaret Cunneen SC has told the jury that Ms De Waegenaire had a consultation with the practitioner in 2002, when he told her that the operation known as a “simple vulvectomy” would be a “relatively minor procedure”.
The prosecutor said the woman woke up in enormous pain and will testify that before the operation the doctor put his face close to her and said, "I'm going to take your clitoris too".
Ms Cunneen said the woman will tell the court she saw the doctor in a blue theatre gown and face mask.
