One in 3 women would require a gynae operation by their 45th birthday.
Traditionally operations are done with a big skin incision. This is the main reason for pain, post-operative adhesions and chronic pains and prolonged hospital stay. Laparoscopic surgery (key-hole) surgery allows the surgeon to perform the operation using clever equipment. It requires specific set of skills and expertise. Hardly any scar is visible. Patients are out of bed faster. The average hospital stay after the operation is usually 1.5 days. The pain is less. The scar is minimal. Some conditions can even be treated without a single incision because the scope can be introduced through the cervix - hysteroscopic surgery. All women should be offered the option of Laparoscopic Operatation for their surgeries. |
