Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Minimal invasive surgery in gynecology involves performance of complex procedures through tiny incisions or natural orifices like vagina instead of conventional large incision over abdomen. Though these procedures were started only a couple of decades back, they have developed quickly with rapidly progressing scientific technology and are widely used now. Minimal invasive gynecologic surgery involves

  • Laparoscopic surgery
  • Hysteroscopic surgery
  • Vaginal surgery
  • Robotic surgery

These techniques may be used for many non-cancerous gynecological conditions. In selected procedures they may be associated with smaller incisions, less pain and shorter recovery. Outcomes depend on the indication, procedure complexity, surgeon and team experience and facility capability. Gynecologic cancers should be managed within appropriate oncology pathways.

To discuss whether a minimally invasive approach is suitable for you, you can arrange a consultation at Dr. Sumina Reddy’s Clinic.

Laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery may offer smaller incisions or shorter recovery for selected conditions. The appropriate surgical approach depends on diagnosis, anatomy, previous surgery, fertility goals and procedure complexity.
