Gynaecological Operations
Gynecological operations encompass a wide range of surgical procedures performed to diagnose, treat, or manage various conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These operations may be performed for both medical and elective reasons and can range from minimally invasive procedures to more extensive surgeries.
Common gynecological operations include:
- Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus, often performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or certain types of cancer.
- Oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries, usually to treat ovarian cysts, tumors, or cancer.
- Myomectomy: Surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, commonly performed to alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or infertility.
- Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a laparoscope to diagnose and treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions.
- Hysteroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a hysteroscope to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the uterus, such as polyps, fibroids, or abnormal bleeding.
- Tubal ligation: Permanent sterilization procedure to prevent pregnancy by blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes.
