Gynecologist sheds light on issues related to gynaecology
Baghpat Sandeep Dahiya. Gynecology: Laparoscopic surgery has proven to be very effective in recent years in matters related to gynecology. These minimally invasive procedures involve making small incisions and using specialized instruments to detect and treat gynecological diseases. Laparoscopy surgery has revolutionized the field of gynecology, resulting in shorter recovery time, less scarring and better outcomes. Dr. Anjali Kumar, Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, spoke on the subject.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy- Traditionally, hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) was performed through an abdominal incision, which entailed a long recovery time for the patient. However, laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for a shorter recovery time for the patient. The recovery is fast, there is less pain after the operation and there are few scars. Technological advances, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy using a robot, have further strengthened the treatment. This allows even complex anatomical structures to be more easily navigated by the doctor and helps a lot in the operation. This procedure is very effective for women with uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding during menstruation. Gynecology
Endometriosis- In endometriosis, endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. This can cause severe pelvic pain and infertility. Laparoscopic procedures have become a very standard method of treatment for endometriotic lesions. In this, doctors use laparoscopic instruments to visualize, map, and accurately remove endometriosis implants. These minimally invasive procedures not only reduce symptoms but also preserve fertility. Women benefit greatly from it. Gynecology
Ovarian cystectomy – Ovarian cysts, fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries. There is a fear of pain, hormonal imbalance and fertility problems. Using laparoscopic cystectomy, doctors remove the cyst and preserve healthy ovarian tissue, improving ovarian function and fertility. Advanced techniques such as intraoperative ultrasound and fluorescence imaging allow accurate identification and removal of the cyst. The risk of this procedure is low: compared to open surgery, there is less pain after laparoscopic cystectomy, the patient has to stay in the hospital for a short time and he can resume his daily activities more quickly.
Myomectomy – Uterine fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility problems. In myomectomy, fibroids are surgically removed while preserving the uterus. This is a better solution for women who want to get pregnant. Laparoscopic myomectomy is more popular than traditional open surgery because of the smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster patient recovery. Robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy has improved surgical precision and led to better reproductive outcomes. Gynecology
Tubal reversal – For women who have undergone a tubal ligation (surgical vasectomy), a tubal reversal offers an opportunity to restore fertility. In laparoscopic tubal reastomosis, the fallopian tubes are reconnected, increasing the chances of a natural pregnancy. Minimally invasive surgery results in less scarring and less postoperative discomfort for the patient, allowing women to return to routine activities more quickly.
Laparoscopic techniques combined with microsurgical skills have greatly improved the success rates and outcomes of tubal reversal surgery. Advances in Gynecology Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the treatment of all gynecological problems during reproductive age. Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy, excision of endometriosis, ovarian cystectomy, myomectomy, and tubal reversal, have provided significant benefits to patients over open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has brought a glimmer of hope to women suffering from gynecological conditions through faster recovery, less scarring and better reproductive outcomes. Technology is also continuously improving, so it is expected that laparoscopic techniques will also develop further, leading to better results and improvement of women’s reproductive health.
