What Is Gynecologic Surgery?

Gynecologic surgery refers to surgical procedures that address conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. These procedures can be done for medical, diagnostic, or cosmetic purposes.

Common types of gynecologic surgeries include:

• Laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)

• Myomectomy (removal of fibroids)

• Ovarian cystectomy (removal of ovarian cysts)

• Endometriosis surgery

• Pelvic floor repair

• Cosmetic gynecologic procedures

Types of Common Gynecologic Surgical Procedures

1. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

     Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the removal of the uterus. Unlike traditional open surgery, it involves several small incisions through which a thin, lighted telescope (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This technique significantly reduces recovery time, pain, and scarring, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities.

2. Myomectomy

Myomectomy is the surgical removal of uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths in the uterus) while preserving the uterus. It is an ideal option for women who wish to retain fertility. It can be performed laparoscopically or through other minimally invasive methods, depending on the size and location of the fibroids.

3. Ovarian Cystectomy

Ovarian cystectomy is the removal of cysts from the ovary while preserving the healthy ovarian tissue. It is commonly performed using laparoscopy and is often recommended for women with persistent, large, or symptomatic cysts.

4. Endometriosis Surgery

Endometriosis surgery involves removing or destroying endometrial tissue that grows outside the uterus. This can help relieve pain, improve fertility, and prevent further damage. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for both diagnosing and treating endometriosis.

5. Pelvic Floor Repair

Pelvic floor repair surgery corrects pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where pelvic organs like the uterus, bladder, or rectum drop from their normal position. This can include procedures like vaginal wall repair, uterine suspension, or sling procedures for urinary incontinence.

6. Cosmetic Gynecologic Procedures

These procedures include labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, hymenoplasty, and other aesthetic treatments designed to improve the appearance, function, or confidence in intimate areas. WIH offers discreet, expert care with a focus on patient comfort and satisfaction.
