Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgery in Santacruz-Mumbai

What is Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgery?

Gynaecological laparoscopic surgery, also referred to as keyhole surgery, offers a minimally invasive approach to treating conditions affecting the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tube.

This involves the use of a specialized tool called a laparoscope. It is a thin instrument fitted with a camera and a light source that allows precise visualization of the internal organs, without any need for large incisions.

Gynaec laparoscopic surgeries offer a variety of benefits over conventional surgeries, which makes it a trusted choice for our team at Surya Hospital.

Who is the candidate for Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgery?

Gynaec laparoscopic surgery, though highly effective and safe, is not an option for every patient.

There are certain contradictions that are taken into account, which include pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, bleeding disorders, compromised renal function and pregnancy.

At Surya Hospital, we recommend the procedure only after a thorough evaluation of the patient to ensure they fit the eligibility criteria.

What are the indications of Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgery?

Several gynaecological problems can be treated using gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. It can be applied therapeutically to address particular illnesses as well as diagnostically to determine the source of certain symptoms.

Indications for gynecologic laparoscopic surgery include the following:

• Endometriosis: Endometriosis implants, which are abnormal growths of uterine tissue outside the uterus, can be identified and removed using laparoscopy.
• Ovarian Cysts: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries and can be removed during laparoscopy.
• Fibroids: Uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that form in or near the uterus, can be removed with laparoscopic surgery.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: Laparoscopy can be performed for both diagnosis and treatment in cases of ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilised egg implants outside the uterus.
• Tubal Ligation: For women who no longer want to have children, laparoscopic sterilization, commonly known as tubal ligation, is a permanent means of contraception.

Procedure

You will be given general anaesthesia before the laparoscopic procedure to make sure you are asleep and pain-free.

2 -3 keyhole incisions, typically no longer than an inch, will be made by the surgeon. The abdomen can be inflated with carbon dioxide gas to give the surgeon additional room to work.

Along with other specialized tools, the laparoscope will be put in through the cuts. The surgeon can carry out the required procedures with the help of the laparoscope, which provides live imaging guidance.

The time taken for the surgery predominantly depends on the complexity of the problem that needs to be treated
