All Gynecological Open and Endoscopic Procedures
Gynecological procedures encompass a wide range of surgical interventions aimed at diagnosing, treating, or managing conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These procedures can be categorized into open surgeries, which involve larger incisions, and endoscopic procedures, which are minimally invasive and utilize specialized instruments inserted through small incisions.
Open Gynecological Procedures
Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus, either partially (subtotal) or completely (total), often performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or certain cancers.
Oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries, typically indicated for conditions such as ovarian cysts, tumors, or as part of cancer treatment.
Myomectomy: Surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, commonly performed to alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or infertility.
Pelvic Floor Repair: Reconstruction of pelvic floor structures to address conditions like pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, often performed through an abdominal or vaginal approach.
Endoscopic Gynecological Procedures
Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive surgery involving the insertion of a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) through small incisions in the abdomen to visualize and perform various procedures, such as ovarian cystectomy, tubal ligation, or treatment of endometriosis.
Hysteroscopy: Endoscopic examination of the uterine cavity using a hysteroscope, allowing for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as uterine polyps, fibroids, or abnormal uterine bleeding.
Endometrial Ablation: Minimally invasive procedure to remove or destroy the endometrial lining of the uterus, commonly used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding or abnormal uterine bleeding.
Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH): Combination of laparoscopic and vaginal approaches for hysterectomy, offering the benefits of minimally invasive surgery with the added ability to address more complex cases.
These gynecological procedures play a crucial role in managing various reproductive health conditions, offering patients options tailored to their specific needs while minimizing surgical risks and promoting quicker recovery times.
