Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), also known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique performed through small incisions or natural body openings, such as the vagina or mouth, using advanced instruments and specialised technologies. Unlike traditional open surgeries, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) minimises tissue disruption, resulting in less pain, a lower risk of complications, and faster recovery.
MIS in gynaecology has transformed the field, providing patients with safer, more effective, and less invasive treatment options for various gynaecological conditions.
Let’s delve into the details of minimally invasive surgery in gynaecology:
Laparoscopic surgery, a form of minimally invasive surgery in gynaecology, involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera, known as a laparoscope, through a small incision in the abdomen. Additional small incisions may allow the insertion of surgical instruments, enabling the surgeon to visualise and operate on internal organs such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
The application of laparoscopic surgery comes when procedures like hysterectomy, ovarian cystectomy, and myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids) have to be performed. It is for the treatment of endometriosis. KD Blossom Women and Child Care Department have expert gynaecologists who have suggested and performed laparoscopic surgery and insist on it.
Hysteroscopic surgery involves the insertion of a telescope-like thin instrument which is called the hysteroscope, it is inserted into the vagina and cervix into the uterus, and it allows the visualisation and the treatment of intrauterine conditions such as uterine fibroids, uterine septum, and polyps, adhesions without the need of abdominal incision.
Hysteroscopic procedures, such as endometrial ablation for heavy menstrual bleeding, polyp removal, and hysteroscopic sterilisation, offer effective, minimally invasive solutions for various gynaecological concerns. At KD Blossom Women and Child Care Department, renowned as the best gynaecological hospital in Ahmedabad, these procedures are performed with exceptional precision and care. Many patients have praised their experiences, highlighting the expertise of the medical team and the quick recovery times.
SILS, or single incision laparoscopic surgery, is performed through a single small incision, as its name implies. This incision is usually made in the umbilicus known as the belly button.
Specialised instruments are inserted through a single port, allowing for reduced scarring and improved cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional multi-port laparoscopy.
SILS is used for a variety of gynaecological procedures, including ovarian cystectomy, hysterectomy, and tubal ligation. The prime gynaecologists at KD Blossom Women and Child Care Department with their expertise efficiently guide and treat women with the above-mentioned problems with adequate surgery.
Compared to regular laparoscopic surgery, mini-laparoscopic surgery uses smaller diameter tools and incisions, which further reduces surgical trauma and improves aesthetic results. Mini-laparoscopic methods are apt for operations that need access to tight areas or the manipulation of fragile tissue.
Advantages of MIS:
Smaller Incisions: Since these procedures are performed through small incisions or natural body openings, there is less surgical trauma, reduced blood loss and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
Faster Recovery: In the case of MIS reduced discomfort and post-operative pain which together contribute to a quicker return to normal activities and an improved quality of life.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) results in reduced pain and discomfort. Since this type of surgery is performed through a small incision, the size of the wound that needs to heal is smaller, which leads to less pain. Additionally, because there is minimal blood loss during the procedure, the individual typically experiences less weakness afterwards.
Lower risk of complications: MIS is also associated with lower rates of complications with surgery. Compared to open surgery, these complications may include wound infections, blood clots, and respiratory issues. MIS helps reduce the overall risk of adverse outcomes, enhancing patient safety.
Preservation of healthy tissue: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a surgical approach that minimises disruption to surrounding tissues. Its techniques allow for precise surgical interventions, which help protect and preserve anatomical structures and organ function. As a result, this reduces the risk of long-term complications and improves overall surgical outcomes.
Enhanced precision and visualisation: The minimally invasive surgery techniques offer cutting-edge visualisation and precision surgeons to perform intricate and complex procedures with greater accuracy and control.
Reduced Healthcare Costs: Although the initial cost of installing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technology and instruments can be significant, overall healthcare costs are often lower. This is due to patients typically spending fewer days in the hospital, experiencing fewer postoperative complications, and recovering more quickly. It makes minimally invasive surgery a cost-effective option in the long run.
The field of women's healthcare has undergone a complete transformation as a result of minimally invasive gynaecological operations, which now provide safer, more efficient, and less intrusive treatment choices for a variety of problems. Advancements in laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, single-incision, and mini-laparoscopic, procedures offer patients faster recovery times, reduced discomfort, and improved outcomes. The KD Blossom Women and Child Care Department’s expert gynaecologists are dedicated to state-of-the-art medical procedures and patients with the best possible care and satisfaction.
