Common Gynecological Surgeries

  • Hysterectomy

    This surgery involves the removal of the uterus and is typically recommended for conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, and cancer. It can be performed through different methods, including abdominal, laparoscopic, and vaginal approaches, depending on the patient's condition and preference.

  • Myomectomy

    Aimed at removing uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, myomectomy is often chosen by women who wish to maintain their fertility. This procedure can alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.

  • Laparoscopic Cystectomy

    This minimally invasive surgery involves the removal of ovarian cysts. Laparoscopic cystectomy is preferred for its benefits, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery time.

  • Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

    This procedure involves the dilation of the cervix and surgical removal of abnormal tissue from the uterus. It is often used to diagnose or treat conditions like heavy bleeding, polyps, or uterine cancer.

  • Tubal Ligation

    A permanent form of birth control, tubal ligation involves cutting, tying, or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. This laparoscopic procedure offers effective family planning for women who no longer wish to conceive.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

  • Laparoscopy

    By utilizing small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments, laparoscopy allows our surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision and fewer risks. This technique reduces blood loss, diminishes pain, and facilitates faster healing.

  • Hysteroscopy

    This procedure involves inserting a thin, lighted instrument (hysteroscope) into the uterus via the vagina to diagnose and treat problems within the uterus without making external incisions. It is effective for removing polyps, fibroids, and treating abnormal bleeding.

Pelvic Floor and Reconstructive Surgeries

Our expertise extends to pelvic floor and reconstructive surgeries dedicated to treating conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and fecal incontinence:

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair

This surgery corrects the descent of pelvic organs, which can cause discomfort, pressure, and urinary problems. Our approach strengthens and supports the pelvic muscles and tissues.

Incontinence Surgery

Specialized procedures such as sling placement or bladder neck suspension can significantly improve bladder control and enhance overall quality of life for those suffering from urinary incontinence.

We customize each surgery to address the unique needs and conditions of our patients, aiming to restore function and improve well-being.

Postoperative Care & Support

Our commitment to our patients extends well beyond the operating room. Thorough postoperative care is crucial for a successful recovery:

Follow-Up Appointments

Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure proper healing, monitor progress, and address any concerns or complications promptly.

Personalized Aftercare Instructions

We provide detailed guidance on medication management, physical activity, wound care, and what symptoms to watch for to ensure a smooth recovery.

Patient Support

Our team is readily available to support patients with any questions or issues that arise post-surgery, offering reassurance and professional advice as needed.
