About
Dr. Nikoloz Sarauli is the surgical arm of the Vita Nova story: a gynecologist-surgeon rather than a reproduction physician, which in an IVF program means the person who handles the operative side - hysteroscopic and laparoscopic assessment, adhesions, fibroids, endometriosis - that determines whether an embryo transfer ever meets a receptive uterus. Chinese-language agency directories list him as a leading fertility doctor and senior physician at Vita Nova Clinic in Tbilisi.
That affiliation deserves a precise caveat: his two institutional profiles online - the Georgian-German Reproductive Center (GGRC), where he is a team member since 2019 listed as Surgeon-Gynecologist, and the EvaNova clinic page, which presents him as Gynecologist, Onco-Gynecologist and Surgeon - do not mention Vita Nova, and no English- or Georgian-language source confirms the Vita Nova link. The agency-directory association is reported here as the reason his profile sits in this clinic’s unit; treat it as unverified. He practices across multiple Tbilisi and regional institutions concurrently - Consilium Medulla since 2008, Gori Military Hospital and Mardaleishvili Medical Center since 2017-2018, GGRC since 2019, MMT Hospital’s oncologic gynecology since 2024 - and headed the gynecology department at Medical Center Lancet in 2017-2018.
His academic track is still moving: since 2023 he is in Tbilisi State Medical University’s doctoral program researching peritoneal tumor implants in ovarian epithelial tumors. Given that Vita Nova’s own website went offline in mid-2026 (see the clinic page status note), anyone seeking him specifically at that clinic should confirm the current care setting directly.
Clinical Expertise
- Gynecologic and endoscopic surgery: more than a decade as a gynecologist-surgeon and endoscopist across Tbilisi clinics; advanced expertise in endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures per his institutional profiles
- Oncologic gynecology: management of ovarian and uterine tumors since 2024 at MMT Hospital, backed by TSMU doctoral research on ovarian tumor implants
- Pre-transfer uterine assessment: surgical diagnosis and correction of cavity pathology that blocks implantation - the standard surgical interface with an IVF program
- Obstetrics and gynecology: state specialty certificate (2016) plus Ukrainian clinical obstetric training; complex obstetric and gynecologic procedures listed among his skills
- Colposcopy: named among his professional interests on the GGRC profile
Why Choose Dr. Nikoloz Sarauli
Fertility patients usually meet a surgeon only when imaging flags a problem - a fibroid, a septum, adhesions from prior surgery - and Sarauli’s profile is exactly that repair layer: a general-surgery-grounded gynecologist who also handles gyn-oncology, so suspicious findings get evaluated by a specialist instead of bounced between clinics.
His multi-site career (military hospital, private multi-profile clinics, an IVF center) means high operative volume across very different patient populations, and his 2017-2018 department-head role at Lancet shows leadership responsibility early in his career.
A practicing researcher in ovarian tumor biology since 2023, he is one of the few Georgian clinicians where surgical skill, oncology and current research overlap - relevant for patients weighing fertility preservation against oncologic treatment.

Suitable For
- IVF candidates with uterine pathology: fibroids, adhesions, endometriosis or cavity anomalies needing surgical clearance before transfer
- Patients needing endoscopic diagnosis: minimally invasive assessment where imaging leaves questions open
- Gyn-oncology cases with fertility goals: tumor management and research-informed evaluation, including fertility-preservation conversations
- Women seeking a second surgical opinion: an operating gynecologist independent of any single IVF clinic’s commercial interest
