All Gynae Surgeries

Frequently Performed Gynecologic Surgeries

Here are several widely performed gynecological procedures worth understanding:

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a less invasive technique used to inspect the uterine cavity using a slim, lighted tool called a hysteroscope. It helps in identifying and treating issues such as heavy bleeding, uterine polyps, fibroids that grow into the uterus, uterine septum, and intrauterine adhesions (also known as Asherman’s syndrome).

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)

LEEP is utilized to remove abnormal cells from the cervix, especially when cervical dysplasia or early precancerous changes are identified during Pap tests or colposcopy. The procedure involves using a thin wire loop charged with electrical energy to excise the affected tissue precisely.

Myomectomy

Myomectomy refers to the surgical elimination of fibroids from the uterus while keeping the uterus intact. It is commonly performed to relieve symptoms like pelvic discomfort, prolonged menstrual bleeding, fertility issues, or bladder pressure. The procedure may be done via open surgery, laparoscopy, or hysteroscopy, depending on the fibroids' location and size.

Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and may be done for various medical conditions like fibroids, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, endometriosis, or cancers. It can be carried out through different methods including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic approaches, depending on the patient's situation and overall health.

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a keyhole surgery that allows a detailed view and surgical access to the abdomen and pelvis through a laparoscope (a lighted, slim camera). It is commonly used for conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic infections, or ectopic pregnancy, allowing both diagnosis and treatment with minimal recovery time.

Colposcopy

Colposcopy involves examining the cervix, vagina, and vulva with a special magnifying device called a colposcope to identify irregular or suspicious areas. This is often recommended following abnormal Pap smear results to investigate cervical health and decide if a biopsy is necessary.

Surgical Treatment for Endometriosis

Surgery for endometriosis is aimed at removing or reducing tissue growth outside the uterus that mimics the uterine lining, which often leads to pain, inflammation, and infertility. Laparoscopic excision, removal of adhesions, and in severe cases, procedures like hysterectomy or oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) may be considered.

Endometrial Ablation

This procedure involves eliminating the uterine lining (endometrium) to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. It is suitable for patients who haven’t found relief from other treatments. Methods include radiofrequency, cryotherapy, or thermal energy to destroy the endometrial tissue.

Tubal Ligation

Tubal ligation is a long-term contraceptive surgery where the fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or blocked to prevent pregnancy. It is commonly referred to as female sterilization. The procedure may be done via laparoscopy or a mini-laparotomy depending on the individual’s condition and preference.

These gynecological procedures are essential for managing a wide range of conditions, helping women maintain reproductive health, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life.
