Gynecological Endoscopic Surgery

Gynecological endoscopic surgery has revolutionized the way we approach women’s health. This minimally invasive technique allows doctors to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions with less pain and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery. But what exactly does it involve, and why is it so important? Let’s dive into the world of gynecological endoscopic surgery and explore its many facets.

Types of Gynecological Endoscopic Surgeries

1. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is one of the most common types of endoscopic surgery. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera—is inserted. This allows the surgeon to view the pelvic organs on a screen and perform necessary procedures with minimal invasion.

2. Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy involves inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This type of surgery is primarily used to diagnose and treat issues within the uterine cavity, such as polyps and fibroids.

Common Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Surgery

1. Endometriosis

Endometriosis, where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, can cause severe pain and infertility. Laparoscopy is often used to remove these growths and alleviate symptoms.

2. Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Endoscopic surgery can effectively remove these fibroids, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

3. Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts, fluid-filled sacs on the ovary, can be removed using laparoscopy, which helps preserve ovarian function and prevent complications like rupture or torsion.

4. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs. Endoscopic surgery can help remove scar tissue and treat the underlying infection, reducing pain and the risk of infertility.
