A Wanganui woman had her ovaries removed without her knowledge by a
rogue doctor.

Her case, and the doctor, has been investigated as part of a Health and
Disability Commissioner report to be made public on Tuesday. The
Wanganui District Health Board (DHB) is expected to be severely criticised.

Fredericka Himmel is terrified of ever going under the knife again. The
Wanganui grandmother is still haunted by the work of Dr Roman Hasil.

She says Hasil diagnosed massive adhesions on her ovaries. After he
resigned from Wanganui Hospital, his notes were later used by other
surgeons and the ovaries were removed. But, examined later, they showed
no sign of any other problems.

The gynaecologist - now Australian based - is at the centre of a Health
and Disability Commissioner's report to be released publicly on Tuesday..

It is expected to target weaknesses in the Wanganui DHB's hiring
process, Hasil's supervision and the way complaints were handled.

Himmel is not the only Wanganui patient to have her ovaries removed
unnecessarily.

John Rowan QC confirmed to 3 News a young woman had hers removed by Dr
Hasil. But it was not discussed before surgery and Hasil never told her
after she woke. She found out months later.

Rowan is organising legal action against the Wanganui DHB over the incident.

Rowan told 3 News he believes more women will come forward after the
report is released. Just what legal action will be taken will not be
decided until he has read the findings. But he hopes the board will
respond in a sensible way.

The DHB will not talk public until the report is released.
