What Is Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical approach that uses small incisions and advanced technology, such as cameras and microinstruments, to perform procedures on the female reproductive organs. This technique reduces risks, postoperative pain, and recovery time. Some of the most common procedures we perform using this technique include:

• Myomectomy: Removal of uterine fibroids without the need for a hysterectomy.
• Endometriosis surgery: Treatment of lesions caused by endometriosis, allowing for the precise removal of tissue.
• Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus using a less invasive technique than traditional surgery.
• Ovarian cysts: Quick and effective removal of ovarian cysts.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive gynecological surgery offers several benefits compared to traditional open surgery:

• Faster recovery: Small incisions allow you to return to your daily activities sooner.
• Less pain: Being less invasive, postoperative discomfort and the need for pain relief are reduced.
• Smaller scars: The small incisions leave less visible scars, improving aesthetic outcomes.
• Lower risk of infection: Because it is a less invasive procedure, the risk of postoperative infections is lower.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

If our gynecologists determine that you need minimally invasive gynecological surgery, the process is as follows:

• Pre-surgery consultation: We will explain the procedure in detail and conduct all necessary tests to ensure it is the best option for you.
• Surgery: The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and in most cases, you can return home the same day or the next day.
• Recovery: We will give you clear instructions for a quick recovery, with regular follow-ups to ensure everything is progressing well.

Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days, although it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity during the first few weeks.
