What are gynecological surgeries?
Gynecological surgeries address a range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system, such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Common gynecological surgeries include:
- Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus.
- Myomectomy: Removal of uterine fibroids.
- Oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries.
- Salpingectomy: Removal of one or both fallopian tubes.
- Tubal Ligation: Permanent sterilization by closing or blocking the fallopian tubes.
- Endometrial Ablation: Removal or destruction of the lining of the uterus to treat heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive procedure using a camera and small incisions for diagnosis and treatment.
- Colposcopy: Examination of the cervix using a special microscope (colposcope) to detect abnormal cells.
- Hysteroscopy: Insertion of a thin tube with a camera into the uterus to diagnose and treat issues like polyps and fibroids.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery: Repair of pelvic organs that have shifted out of place.
- Cervical Cone Biopsy: Removal of a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix for diagnostic or treatment purposes.
- Cystectomy: Removal of ovarian cysts.
- Excision of Endometriosis: Surgical removal of endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus.
- LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure): Removal of abnormal cervical tissue for further examination.
Reasons for surgery:
Surgery may be recommended to relieve symptoms, treat conditions affecting fertility, manage pain, or address cancerous growths.
Minimally invasive options: Many gynecological surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
Preparation: We will provide specific instructions before surgery, which might include fasting, stopping medications, and discussing medical history and allergies.
Recovery: Recovery times vary based on the procedure. We will guide you on post-operative care, including activity restrictions and follow-up appointments.
Risks and benefits: Gynecological surgeries offer relief and improved health, but like any surgery, they carry risks such as bleeding, infection, and anesthesia complications.
