SURGICAL MANAGEMENT

Surgical management in infertility refers to a wide range of procedures performed on the female reproductive system to address various medical conditions. These procedures can be minimally invasive or involve open surgery, depending on the specific condition and the surgeon's preference.

• Hysterectomy

This is the surgical removal of the uterus, which may be performed for a variety of reasons, such as fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, or cancer.

• Myomectomy

This procedure involves the removal of uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths that can cause pain, bleeding, and fertility problems.

• Oophorectomy

This is the surgical removal of one or both ovaries, which may be performed for ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or other conditions.

• Laparoscopy

This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small telescope inserted through the abdomen to view the pelvic organs. Laparoscopy can be used for diagnostic purposes or to perform surgery, such as removing endometriosis or fibroids.

• Colposcopy

This is a procedure that uses a magnifying instrument to examine the cervix and vagina for abnormalities.

The decision of whether or not to have surgery is a complex one that should be made in consultation with a gynecologist. Factors to consider include the severity of the condition, the risks and benefits of surgery, and the patient’s preferences.
Here are some of the potential risks of gynaecological surgery:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Pain
  • Scarring
  • Damage to other organs
  • Anesthesia complications

It is important to discuss these risks with your doctor before surgery so that you can make an informed decision.
