GYNECOLOGY

Gynecological surgeries encompass a wide range of procedures that address conditions affecting the female reproductive system.

These surgeries may be performed for various medical reasons, including the treatment of gynecological conditions, reproductive health management, and cancer treatment. The choice of surgery depends on the specific diagnosis, the patient’s health, and their reproductive goals.

Patients should consult with their gynecologist or a gynecological surgeon to discuss their specific condition, available treatment options, and expected recovery times.

Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, often performed for conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or certain types of cancer. Total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix), subtotal or partial hysterectomy (removal of the uterus but leaving the cervix), and radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus, cervix, part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues).

Oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries, performed for conditions such as ovarian cysts, tumors, or as part of cancer treatment. Unilateral (one ovary) or bilateral (both ovaries) oophorectomy.

Myomectomy: Surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, allowing for fertility preservation. Myomectomy can be open, laparoscopic, or hysteroscopic.

Endometrial ablation: Destruction or removal of the uterine lining to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, typically for women who have completed childbearing.

Tubal ligation: Surgical procedure to block or cut the fallopian tubes, preventing the eggs from reaching the uterus and thereby achieving permanent contraception.

Pelvic Floor Repair: Surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse, which may involve repairing the bladder, uterus, or rectum.

Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystetomy: Removal of ovarian cysts using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
