Dr Abri de Bruin – Obstetrician & Gynaecologist – Erasmuskloof

Dr Abri de Bruin – Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (Reproductive Medicine) – Erasmuskloof practices at Mediclinic Kloof, where he leads the Centre’s advanced endometriosis and fertility unit. He earned his MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 1993 and completed an MMed (O&G) in 1999, followed by FCOG (SA) in 2000. Moreover, he attained subspecialist accreditation in Reproductive Medicine, which underpins his role as Medical Director of the Genesis Reproductive Centre.

Over the past two decades, Dr de Bruin has pioneered minimally invasive approaches to deep endometriosis. Consequently, he established one of the first multidisciplinary units in the Southern Hemisphere. He regularly publishes in peer‑reviewed journals and presents at international conferences on laparoscopic excision techniques. Above all, his patient‑centered philosophy drives every consultation; he ensures that couples understand both diagnosis and treatment options fully. By blending surgical expertise with empathetic support, he guides patients through complex fertility pathways with confidence and clarity.

Services

At Mediclinic Kloof, Dr de Bruin offers a comprehensive suite of reproductive‑medicine services, each delivered with surgical precision and compassionate care:

  • Advanced Endometriosis Management – He treats deep and complex lesions via laparoscopic excision, thereby preserving ovarian reserve and reducing pain. Moreover, he integrates intraoperative ultrasound to map disease accurately.

  • Fertility Assessment & Counselling – His evaluations include hormonal profiling, ovarian reserve testing, and uterine cavity assessment, which together inform personalized assisted‑reproduction strategies.

  • Endoscopic Fertility Surgery – Dr de Bruin performs minimally invasive procedures—such as ovarian cystectomy, adhesiolysis, and salpingostomy—to optimize pelvic anatomy for conception. Consequently, patients often achieve natural pregnancy post‑procedure.

  • IVF & IUI Oversight – As Medical Director, he tailors protocols for in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination, and he supervises preimplantation genetic testing to improve success rates.

  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration – He coordinates care with colorectal surgeons, urologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists, ensuring that every aspect of endometriosis‑related infertility receives expert attention.

Each service benefits from 3D pelvic ultrasound and high‑resolution imaging, which enhance diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning.
