Laparoscopy for Infertility
What
This is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a laparoscope, a slender instrument equipped with a camera, with which surgeons can visualise the pelvic region with precision.
Uses
Used for the identification and treatment of conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and blocked fallopian tubes that might be hindering conception.
Benefits
Minimally invasive, accurate diagnosis, shorter recovery time and increased success rate.
Hysteroscopic Surgery
What
Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a hysteroscope, a thin and flexible instrument equipped with a camera, to visualise and operate within the uterine cavity.
Uses
Reduced which translates to shorter recovery times, minimal scarring, and a decrease in postoperative discomfort. Furthermore, hysteroscopy offers the advantage of precise visualisation, enabling surgeons to address specific problem areas with great accuracy.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy
What
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a cutting-edge surgical technique which uses small incisions in the abdominal area through which specialised instruments and a laparoscope are inserted. The laparoscope provides real-time visual guidance, allowing surgeons to accurately locate and remove fibroids with precision.
Uses
Primarily used in the removal of fibroids from the uterus.
Benefits
This approach significantly reduces scarring, postoperative pain, and the overall healing time. The procedure is particularly well-suited for women who wish to preserve their fertility, as it enables the removal of fibroids while leaving the uterus intact.
Laparoscopy for Ovarian Cysts
What
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or within the ovaries, occasionally causing pain, discomfort, or even fertility concerns. A laparoscope inserted through small incisions allows surgeons to accurately visualise the ovaries and cysts in real-time.
Uses
For diagnostic purposes, laparoscopy enables healthcare professionals to determine the nature, size, and location of ovarian cysts. In cases where cysts are large, persistent, or causing significant discomfort, laparoscopic surgery provides a precise method to remove or drain them.
Benefits
Laparoscopic cystectomy involves the removal of cysts while preserving healthy ovarian tissue, which is particularly beneficial for women concerned about fertility preservation.
Robotics Surgery
What
In robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, a surgeon controls a robotic system equipped with specialised instruments through a console. These instruments offer a range of motion and dexterity that surpass traditional laparoscopic instruments, allowing for intricate and precise manoeuvres within the body. A 3D high-definition camera system provides enhanced visualisation, enabling the surgeon to navigate anatomical structures with greater accuracy.
Uses
Robotic surgery is particularly advantageous for intricate procedures like hysterectomy, myomectomy, and endometriosis excision.
Benefits
Its minimally invasive nature results in smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to open surgery. Patients often experience less pain and scarring, along with shorter hospital stays. Moreover, the robotic system’s ergonomic design enables surgeons to perform procedures with enhanced comfort, reducing fatigue during lengthy surgeries. This, in turn, can contribute to better outcomes and reduced surgical errors.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
What
This innovative and minimally invasive technique replaces traditional open surgery with a method that involves small incisions and specialised instruments, resulting in improved patient outcomes and faster recovery.
Uses
This technique is often chosen for cases involving benign conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, or abnormal uterine bleeding. In instances where cancer is a concern, laparoscopic techniques can be adapted to encompass lymph node dissection and other necessary steps while still maintaining minimally invasive principles.
Benefits
The benefits of TLH are numerous. Patients undergoing this procedure typically experience less pain, reduced blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open hysterectomy. The smaller incisions also lead to minimise scarring and a quicker return to normal activities.
