This is the current trend in all fields of surgery. Instead of large incisions with conventional operations, MIS involves the use of endoscopic devices and fine instruments through small incisions on the body wall. It allows for outpatient treatment or shorter hospital time, better cosmesis, less risk of internal scars (adhesions) and less postoperative pain.

Endoscopic gynaecological surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to visualize the inside of your body cavity with the help of a telescope that is attached to a camera. You are first sedated or given an anaesthetic to reduce any discomfort after which surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions or through natural body opening to perform the surgery.

Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures are endoscopic gynecological surgeries and therefore minimally invasive.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is a Laparoscopy?” icon_color=”#8CB770″ _builder_version=”3.9″ title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”18px”]

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows a look inside your abdomen. It is used to diagnose and treat many conditions that affect women such as pelvic or abdominal pain, adhesions (scar tissue that attaches to organs), infertility, ectopic pregnancy etc. Some examples of procedures done by laparoscopy include hysterectomy (removal of the womb), oopherectomy (removal of ovaries), myomectomy (removal of fibroids) treatment of endometriosis.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is a Hysteroscopy?” icon_color=”#8CB770″ _builder_version=”3.9″ title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”18px”]

Hysteroscopy allows the surgeon to look inside the uterine cavity to diagnose and treat conditions such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, infertility, fibroids, polyps etc.

Endoscopic gynaecological surgeries allow for early discharge home, less pain and quicker recovery.

The risks associated with endoscopic gyneacological surgeries is relatively low but may depend on your diagnosis and the type of procedure needed.

Condoms (Male and Female)

Condoms are barrier methods used to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

  • For males: It is a thin sheath rolled on to an erect penis before sexual activity. This prevents sperms from entering the vagina.
  • For females: It is a thin polyurethane sheath with two rings. It lines the vagina and outside of the vagina. This helps to prevent sperms from entering the vagina during sexual intercourse.

Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD)

This is a small “T- shaped” device made of flexible plastic.

Tubal Ligation

This is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman’s fallopian tubes are blocked or severed and sealed. This prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation.

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization. During the procedure, the male vas deferens is severed then tied in a manner so as to prevent sperm from entering into the ejaculate and thereby prevents fertilization.

[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Hormonal Methods” _builder_version=”3.9″]

Oral Contraceptives (The Pill)

Oral contraceptive, “the pill”, has two types of hormones that help to prevent pregnancy.

Injection (Depo-Provera)

Depo-Provera is a hormonal injection that contains progestin. It has no estrogen. It is administered by a needle in the buttocks or the arm every twelve (12) weeks. It is recommended for people who are unable to take other forms of contraceptives.

Implants

An implant is a small flexible rod that is placed just under the skin in the upper arm. It releases a progestogen hormone similar to the natural progesterone that women produce in their ovaries.

Depending on the type of implant it will work for 4-5 years.

Requires a small surgical procedure for the insertion.
