Gynecological operations encompass a range of surgical procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the female reproductive system. As gynecologists, our role is to perform these operations with precision and care to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. These procedures may address various issues including menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, infertility, cancer, and structural abnormalities. Here, we provide a detailed overview of common gynecological operations, including indications, techniques, and postoperative care.
A hysterectomy involves the surgical removal of the uterus. This procedure may be performed through different approaches depending on the patient’s condition and the extent of the surgery.Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the entire uterus, including the cervix. Subtotal (or Partial) Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus while leaving the cervix intact. Radical Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, upper part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues, typically performed for gynecological cancers. Indications: Includes uterine fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, and cancer.
Hysteroscopic Ablation: Performed through the cervix using a hysteroscope to access the uterine cavity. Radiofrequency Ablation: Uses radiofrequency energy to ablate the endometrial lining. Cryoablation: Uses extreme cold to destroy the endometrial tissue.
