Hysteroscopic Surgery
Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems inside the uterus. It involves the use of a hysteroscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source at the end that is inserted through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus.
Procedure:
During hysteroscopic surgery, a surgeon can visualise the inside of the uterus and identify any abnormalities, such as polyps, fibroids, or adhesions. The surgeon can then use specialised instruments to remove or treat these abnormalities, often without the need for incisions.
Hysteroscopic surgery can be used to treat a variety of gynaecological conditions, including heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, infertility, endometrial cancer, and uterine septum. The procedure is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal pain and a short recovery time. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding organs. Before undergoing hysteroscopic surgery, patients should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor and carefully follow all pre-operative and post-operative instructions.
