Belinda J. Gabbe is a Trauma Surgeon based in Melbourne, practising from 553 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia.
Her work often focuses on people who have been through serious injuries or accidents. That can include traumatic brain injuries and related issues, like chronic subdural haematoma. In many cases, she helps patients manage the effects of an injury over time, including things that can show up later, such as post-traumatic epilepsy and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Belinda also looks after a mix of other health problems, including tendon injuries like Achilles tendon rupture. She treats bone and joint conditions too, such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and she works with hip replacement care when it’s needed.
Day to day, trauma care can be fast-moving and a bit unpredictable. Patients may also come in with problems that need urgent attention, including low blood pressure, hypothermia, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). At times, care can also include infections like urinary tract infections (UTI), and bladder and hormone-related issues such as a neurogenic bladder and hypopituitarism. Some patients may have conditions linked to major childbirth events, including Sheehan syndrome.
Belinda’s goal is to help patients get the right treatment, then move forward with recovery in a practical way. That means looking at what’s going on now, but also thinking about what might happen next. For some people, recovery includes physical support, while for others it’s about managing symptoms and complications so life can become more normal again.
