Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery

Laparoscopic gynaecological surgery treats a wide range of conditions of the womb, ovaries and pelvis through a few small keyhole incisions instead of one large abdominal cut, which means less pain, less blood loss, a much smaller scar and a far quicker return to normal life. A thin camera and fine instruments are passed through openings of about half a centimetre to one centimetre, giving the surgeon a magnified view of the pelvic organs on a screen. The same approach handles everything from removing fibroids and ovarian cysts to hysterectomy and the surgery of endometriosis, often as a single planned operation. Many women travel abroad for this surgery to reach experienced minimally invasive teams and modern operating facilities, and because the recovery is so quick it fits a medical trip particularly well. With good planning, the operation, a short recovery and the first check can all be completed in a single visit.
