Gynecological surgeries refer to surgical interventions on the female reproductive system. These surgeries are usually performed to treat diseases of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina and other pelvic organs, corrective surgical procedures and to relieve pain. Here are some common types of gynecological surgery:
Hysterectomy
It is the complete or partial removal of the uterus. Hysterectomy can be performed for conditions such as uterine cancer, fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding and uterine prolapse.
Salpingectomy
Removal of the fallopian tubes. This surgery can be performed for blockages in the tubes, inflammation or other problems with the tubes.
Ovarian Cyst Surgery
It is performed to remove cysts that form in the ovaries. Although these cysts are usually benign, their size or symptoms may require surgical intervention.
Myomectomy
Removal of fibroids in the uterus. Fibroids are benign tumors that originate from the muscle layer inside the uterus.
Cerclage of the Cervix
It is a surgical procedure to support a weak condition of the cervix, usually during pregnancy.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair
It is a surgical intervention to replace the uterus, bladder or rectum when these organs fall due to weakness in the muscles and ligaments in the pelvic region.
Vaginal and Abdominal Incontinence Surgery
In the case of urinary incontinence, it involves surgical interventions to improve urinary control.
Endometriosis Surgery
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue inside the uterus grows in areas outside the uterus. Surgery may involve removing these abnormal growths and tissues.
Pelvic Laparoscopy
It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure using a camera and fine surgical instruments through small incisions. It can be used to treat many gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, cysts, tubal ligation.
Gynecological surgeries should be performed by a specialist gynecologist or gynecological surgeon. Each surgical intervention should be planned and performed depending on the patient’s condition and symptoms. The recovery process after surgery is usually individual and may vary depending on the patient’s general state of health, the type of surgery and the method of execution.
