Gynecology Procedures

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery refers to the use of less invasive techniques, such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, to surgically treat gynecological disorders. These techniques may involve a single incision or a few small incisions or no incisions to access the organs of the female reproductive system and perform the required repair using specialized tools for the treatment of a gynecologic condition.

Scarless gynecologic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery in which a single incision of about three-fourths of an inch is made in the belly button and a laparoscope and miniature surgical instruments are passed through the incision to access an organ of the female reproductive system and perform the required repair for treatment of a gynecologic condition.

The vulva region is numbed with local anesthesia. During the procedure, your doctor places a colposcope (magnifying instrument) close to the vulva to inspect it. A sample of skin may be removed from the suspicious area with the help of a scalpel or cutting tool, and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Your doctor may then stitch the skin if a large section of the vulva is removed.

Know More

A cervical biopsy is performed as a diagnostic test to detect cancerous or precancerous cells on the cervix. A cervical biopsy may also be performed by your doctor to diagnose other conditions such as a non-cancerous growth (polyp) on the cervix or to detect genital warts.

Endometrial ablation is a procedure to destroy (ablate) your uterine lining, also referred to as the endometrium.  This is the lining that sheds to cause menstrual bleeding. Ablation may reduce or stop the menstrual flow completely. The procedure does not involve any cuts or incision.

Know More

The uterus is lined by a tissue called the endometrium, which thickens in preparation for a prospective pregnancy, and breaks down and bleeds as menstrual fluid in the absence of conception. This tissue can become displaced and grow in other places, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic region leading to a painful disorder called endometriosis.

Know More

Gynecologic lesions are abnormal growths located in the female reproductive system, such as the vagina, urethra, ovaries, etc. Excision of the gynecologic lesion is a procedure to remove the lesion.

Know More

Laparoscopy in gynecology is used to check for any abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs which are not evident by other diagnostic procedures such as X-rays and other scans. Laparoscopy is used to diagnose and treat the conditions of pelvic pain, infertility, fibroids, cysts, tumors, endometriosis, ectopic (tubal) pregnancies, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other gynecological problems.

Know More

HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital warts, abnormal cervical cells or cervical cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) test is a screening test indicated in women above 30 years of age and for those who show an abnormal Pap test.

Know More

Hysteroscopy is a minor surgical procedure used for diagnosis and/or treatment of various conditions of the uterus. In this procedure, a thin telescopic instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus through the vagina to view the internal structures for diagnosing or treating conditions.

Know More

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using a laparoscope, a thin fiber-optic instrument with a camera and lens attached to it. Laparoscopes can be used for diagnosing and treating various conditions.

Know More

Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a cyst or cysts from one or both of the ovaries laparoscopically.

Know More

Pelvic organ prolapse is the protrusion of the pelvic organs (vagina and uterus) due to weakness in muscles that support these organs. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is a surgical technique performed to correct pelvic organ prolapse.

Know More

A vesico vaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and vagina, which allows the involuntary flow of urine. The condition is surgically treated with laparoscopic vesico vaginal fistula repair and is performed under general anesthesia. Your surgeon makes 3 to 4 small incisions in the lower abdomen. A laparoscope (tube with a light and a miniature camera) is inserted to locate the fistula.

Know More

Pelvic pain is one of the common gynecological problems which may be caused by various conditions. Assessing the exact cause of pain is essential to treat the condition. Use of a laparoscope helps in assessing the exact cause of the pain such as the presence of scar tissue, infections, ovarian cysts, gastrointestinal problems, urinary problems, musculoskeletal problems, and other conditions.

Know More

Laser surgery uses laser beams, high-intensity light of a specific wavelength that can be focused into a narrow beam, to treat or correct various conditions and abnormalities. They allow surgeons to work very precisely as the beam of light can be focused onto a specific point, causing less damage to surrounding tissues.

Know More

NovaSure endometrial ablation is a procedure to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding in women by permanently destroying the endometrium, the uterine lining that is responsible for causing heavy bleeding. It is a simple procedure which can be performed in your doctor’s office without the need for anesthesia.

Know More

Office hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a hysteroscope to diagnose and treat abnormalities of the endometrial cavity and the endocervical canal. This procedure is performed in a clinic or office setting and enables direct visualization of the uterus without the need for general anesthesia or an operating room.

Know More

The Pap test, also known as Pap smear, checks for changes in the cells of your cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens into the vagina (birth canal). The Pap test can indicate if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer.

Pelvic lymphadenectomy is the surgical removal of lymph nodes in the pelvic region to examine them for the presence of cancer. Like blood vessels, lymph vessels form an elaborate network that plays a vital role in the body’s defense system and forms a major pathway for cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.

Uterine prolapse, also called a prolapsed uterus, is a female reproductive health disorder. It occurs when the uterus slips downward into the vagina due to the weakness of the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, which cannot provide proper support. In some women, the uterus may protrude from the vaginal opening.
