What are the different gynecological surgical procedures?
Dr. Das is experienced in performing a range of surgeries, including:
Hysteroscopy
A hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose or treat complications of the uterus using a hysteroscope, a slender, lighted device that Dr. Das inserts through your vagina into your uterus. The hysteroscope transmits images of your uterus onto a screen for Dr. Das to view.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy refers to a way of performing surgery that uses smaller incisions and is minimally invasive. This results in a better patient experience and a smoother and faster recovery.
Cystectomy
A cystectomy is a surgery to remove the bladder. The incision is typically made across the lower abdomen. A new method of removing urine is usually created with a small piece of the small intestine that’s removed and used as a tube. This new tube connects through a stoma and then to a bag to collect the urine.
Myomectomy
A myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids.
Salpingectomy
Salpingectomy is a procedure to remove one or both of your fallopian tubes.
Salpingo-oophorectomy
Salpingo-oophorectomy is the surgical removal of an ovary and a fallopian tube.
Endometrial ablation
Endometrial ablation is a procedure that surgically destroys the lining of your uterus, typically to reduce menstrual flow. This procedure is often used to treat endometriosis. In some women, their flow stops entirely after an endometrial ablation, alleviating painful menstruation.
No incisions are needed and Dr. Das inserts slender tools through the vaginal canal to perform the procedure.
Hysterectomy
Dr. Das performs a hysterectomy to remove the uterus. This surgery means that you can no longer become pregnant.
Correction of incontinence
Different types of sling procedures treat urinary incontinence. They can involve strips of synthetic mesh, your tissue, or donor tissue. This helps keep your urethra closed to prevent leakage.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
There are many benefits of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, such as:
- Smaller incisions
- Minimal scarring
- Fewer risks and complications
- Less downtime and faster recovery
- Advanced surgical tools and techniques
While Dr. Das can perform most procedures in-office, in some cases you may need to go for surgery or health care services elsewhere, and Dr. Das can provide you with a referral when necessary.
