About Dr. Barry Richter

MD, FRCS

Dr. Richter is certified in urogynaecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, as well as aesthetic gynecologic surgery, including labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and female cosmetic genital procedures. His medical expertise spans the spectrum of pelvic floor disorders, including vaginal prolapse repair, treatment of obstetric fistulae, and the management of complex obstetric lacerations. His multidisciplinary approach incorporates close collaboration with pelvic health physiotherapists and colorectal surgeons, particularly in the management of prolapse, urinary symptoms, bowel-related conditions, and pelvic pain.

Born, raised, and trained in South Africa, Dr. Richter has worked in Canada, the U.S., and the Cayman Islands. He is board-certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada and formerly directed the gynecological endoscopy unit at the University of the Free State in South Africa for nearly five years. There, he performed advanced laparoscopic procedures such as hysterectomies, treatment of deep endometriosis, and oncologic and prolapse surgeries.

He continues to hone his skills, drawing inspiration from pioneers such as Dr. Harry Reich, the first to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy. Currently, Dr. Richter is advancing his knowledge in neuropelveology, the intricate field addressing the neurological complexities of pelvic health, ensuring he remains at the forefront of both functional and aesthetic gynecology.
