Hysteroscopic Surgeries
Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the inside of the uterus. It involves the use of a hysteroscope, which is a thin, lighted instrument equipped with a camera. The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus, allowing the doctor to clearly view the uterine cavity without making external incisions.
This advanced technique enables gynecologists to identify and treat various uterine conditions with precision and minimal discomfort. Hysteroscopic procedures are commonly used to remove uterine polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and to evaluate abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility issues. Since the procedure does not require large incisions, recovery is usually faster and patients can often return home the same day.
