The Medical Council has said it is "not in the public interest" to publish the sanction to be imposed on consultant obstetrician Dr Peter Van Geene following a fitness to practise inquiry late last year.
The decision was made at a Medical Council sanctions hearing on 26 October, which considered the outcome of the inquiry.
Under legislation, Dr Van Geene can appeal the sanction decision to the High Court within 21 days.
In October 2015, Dr Van Geene was found guilty of poor professional performance by the fitness to practise committee, on two counts, regarding his treatment of patient, Helen Cruise.
They did not find him guilty of poor professional performance in relation to any of the allegations relating to three other patients.
Ms Cruise from Kilkenny, allowed herself to be identified at the inquiry.
In a statement to RTÉ News, the Council said that the sanctions hearing came before the Council on 26 October and it decided not to publish the sanction, as it determined that it was not in the public interest to do so in accordance with Section 85 of the Medical Practitioners Act.
Dr Van Geene had faced allegations relating to four patients who underwent hysterectomies between 2009 and 2011 at Aut Even Private Hospital in Kilkenny.
The committee found Dr Van Geene guilty of poor professional performance for failing to review Ms Cruise before her hysterectomy in August 2011.
He also failed to adequately explain to her the procedures, the risks and any adverse consequences.
He was also found guilty of poor professional performance for communicating with her and her family after the operation in an incorrect and/or inappropriate manner.
The nine-day inquiry concluded hearing evidence at the end of September last year.
