The site · Ethics
This is the website of a medical practice. What it says follows the rules of the profession: fair, clear and honest information, written to help you decide. That framework is set out here, once and for all, and applies to every page.
What this site is
The pages of this site describe the care provided by the practice: what it is, who it is for, how it is carried out. They do not replace a consultation. Every decision — an examination, a treatment, an operation — is made at the practice, after examination, with the physician, and after the alternatives have been presented to you.
In accordance with the French code of medical ethics, this site publishes no patient testimonials, no comparisons with other practitioners, no before-and-after photographs, and promises no results. A medical outcome depends on each person; it cannot be guaranteed.
Treatments
All the procedures described on this site are performed at the practice or, for surgery and obstetrics, at the Clinique de la Muette, by Dr Chaima Gatri. For most of them — gynecological (gynaecological) surgery, obstetrics, hormone treatments, pelvic floor rehabilitation, laser vaporization of genital warts and cervical lesions — knowledge is established and covered by the recommendations of the learned societies.
For certain more recent treatments — gynecological laser for vaginal dryness, stress urinary leaks, vaginal laxity, early prolapse and scars; magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor — clinical studies are ongoing and the learned societies have not yet issued recommendations. The practice offers them after discussion of the reference treatments, as a complement or a second line, and tells you at the consultation what is known and what is not yet known. Conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation and surgery remain the reference treatments for incontinence and prolapse; local hormone treatments, for dryness at menopause.
Fees
The practice operates under sector 2, non-OPTAM: fees are set freely, displayed at the practice and published on the Practical information page. Consultations, examinations and procedures listed in the official schedule are covered by the French health insurance (Assurance maladie) under sector 2 conditions; procedures outside the schedule — laser sessions, magnetic stimulation sessions, intimate surgery for aesthetic purposes — are not reimbursed. A written quotation is provided before any procedure outside the schedule and before any operation. For aesthetic procedures, French law requires a written quotation and a fifteen-day cooling-off period before the operation (article L.6322-2 of the Public Health Code); these procedures are subject to VAT.
Sources
The information sheets given at the consultation and offered on this site are those of the French College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF), the French Menopause Study Group (GEMVI) and the patient associations cited on the relevant pages. The texts of this site are reviewed by Dr Chaima Gatri, qualified specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, registered with the Paris Council of the Order of Physicians.
