PROMOTING FEMALE HEALTH AT EVERY STAGE

We specialize in Surgery

Surgery is a medical specialty that involves the use of operative procedures to treat or manage various medical conditions. In the context of gynecology and obstetrics, surgery may be used to treat conditions related to the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina.

Common gynecological surgeries include:

  1. Hysterectomy: removal of the uterus
  2. Oophorectomy: removal of one or both ovaries
  3. Salpingectomy: removal of one or both fallopian tubes
  4. Myomectomy: removal of uterine fibroids
  5. Laparoscopy: a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions
  6. Cervical cerclage: a procedure to reinforce the cervix during pregnancy

In the context of neonatal and pediatric surgery, surgeries may be performed on infants, children, or adolescents to treat congenital abnormalities, injuries, or other medical conditions. Examples of neonatal and pediatric surgeries include:

  1. Congenital heart surgery
  2. Cleft lip and palate repair
  3. Surgery for abdominal or thoracic abnormalities
  4. Corrective surgery for spinal deformities such as scoliosis
  5. Neurosurgical procedures to treat conditions such as hydrocephalus or brain tumors

Surgical procedures are typically performed in a hospital or surgical center, and may involve various techniques such as open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery. The type of surgery performed depends on the specific medical condition, the patient’s age and health status, and the expertise of the surgical team. Prior to surgery, patients typically undergo a thorough evaluation and preparation process to ensure their safety and maximize the chances of a successful outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Surgery?

Surgery is a medical procedure that involves incisions, repairs, or removal of tissues or organs to treat diseases, injuries, or medical conditions. It can be open (traditional) or minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic-assisted).

  • Elective Surgery – Planned procedures (e.g., knee replacement, cosmetic surgery).
  • Emergency Surgery – Urgent procedures (e.g., appendectomy, trauma surgery).
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery – Small incisions with faster recovery (e.g., laparoscopy, endoscopy).
  • Major Surgery – Complex procedures requiring anesthesia (e.g., heart surgery, organ transplant).
  • Minor Surgery – Simple procedures with local anesthesia (e.g., mole removal, biopsy).

Follow pre-surgery instructions, such as:

  • Fasting before the procedure.
  • Stopping certain medications as advised.
  • Arranging transportation after surgery.
  • Discussing allergies and medical history with the doctor.

Risks depend on the procedure but may include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding or blood clots
  • Reaction to anesthesia
  • Delayed healing or scarring
  • Damage to surrounding tissues or organs

  • General Anesthesia – Puts you to sleep for major surgeries.
  • Local Anesthesia – Numbs a small area for minor procedures.
  • Regional Anesthesia – Blocks sensation in a larger body area (e.g., spinal block for childbirth)
