Types of Gynecological Surgery
Gynecological surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures designed to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the female reproductive system. From minimally invasive techniques to complex surgeries, gynecological surgery offers solutions for various gynecological conditions, including:
- Uterine Conditions: Surgery may be performed to address uterine conditions such as fibroids (benign tumors), adenomyosis, uterine polyps, and heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Ovarian Disorders: Surgical interventions may be necessary for ovarian cysts, endometriomas (ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis), ovarian tumors, and ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary).
- Cervical Disease: Surgery can be performed to remove precancerous cells
- Reproductive Health: Gynecological surgery may be performed to address infertility-related conditions, such as blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, and endometriosis affecting fertility.
- Risk Reducing Surgery: Surgery may be performed to prevent gynecologic cancer in women with certain genetic mutations
Methods of Gynecological Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and Robotic surgery, involve small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgeries with less trauma, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery is used to visualize and operate on the pelvic organs through small incisions in the abdomen. It is commonly used for procedures such as ovarian cystectomy, hysterectomy, myomectomy (fibroid removal), and endometriosis excision.
- Hysteroscopic Surgery: Hysteroscopic surgery involves the insertion of a thin, lighted instrument (hysteroscope) through the cervix into the uterus to diagnose and treat conditions such as uterine polyps, fibroids, and uterine cancer .
- Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Robotic-assisted surgery utilizes robotic technology to enhance precision and dexterity during minimally invasive procedures, offering greater control and visualization for complex surgeries, such as hysterectomy
