Melbourne gynaecologist Dr Simon Gordon faces potential class action after allegedly performing hundreds of unnecessary pelvic surgeries, including hysterectomies and ovary removals, on women he claimed had endometriosis despite pathology results often showing little to no trace of the condition.

Dr Gordon has surrendered his medical registration and is under investigation by AHPRA and Victoria Police.
