Hysteroscopic Surgery

Hysteroscopic Surgery

 
  • Gentle, Scar-Free Procedures for Uterine Health

    Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the uterus. It is performed by inserting a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix—no cuts or stitches are needed.

    This technique allows the doctor to view the uterine cavity and correct issues such as polyps, fibroids, abnormal bleeding, or structural defects.

Common Hysteroscopic Procedures We Offer

Polypectomy

 Removal of Uterine Polyps

Polyps are small, soft, non-cancerous growths in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) that can cause heavy bleeding, spotting between periods, or fertility issues.

  • Quick, day-care procedure
  • No incisions
  • Improves menstrual symptoms and may aid conception

Septum Dissection

Correction of Uterine Septum (Congenital Abnormality)

A uterine septum is a tissue wall dividing the uterine cavity, which may increase the risk of miscarriage or infertility. Hysteroscopic dissection removes this septum to restore the normal shape of the uterus.

  • Recommended for women with repeated miscarriages or infertility

  • Helps improve pregnancy outcomes

  • No external cuts or scars


TCRE (Transcervical Resection of Endometrium)

Treatment for Heavy or Prolonged Periods

TCRE involves removing the thickened lining of the uterus (endometrium) using a hysteroscope. This helps reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), especially in women who do not wish to have more children.

  • Performed under anesthesia

  • Ideal for women near menopause or not planning further pregnancies

  • Safer alternative to hysterectomy in some cases


Hysteroscopic Submucosal Myoma Resection

Removal of Fibroids Inside the Uterus

Submucosal fibroids are a type of uterine fibroid that grow into the cavity of the uterus and can cause heavy bleeding, cramps, or infertility. Hysteroscopic surgery allows precise removal of these fibroids through the cervix.

  • Preserves the uterus

  • Improves fertility and reduces symptoms

  • No abdominal cuts

Advantages of Hysteroscopic Surgery

  • No external incisions or stitches

  • Less pain and faster recovery

  • Day-care or short hospital stay

  • Lower risk of infection and complications

  • Preserves fertility and the uterus whenever possible


What to Expect


  • Done under local or general anesthesia

  • Most patients go home the same day

  • Mild cramps or spotting for 1–2 days

  • Resume daily activities within 1–2 days

Frequently asked questions

Some of the most common gynecological surgeries include:

  • Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus.

  • Myomectomy: Removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.

  • Laparoscopy (Keyhole Surgery): Minimally invasive surgery for diagnosing and treating conditions like endometriosis or ovarian cysts.

  • Oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries.

  • D&C (Dilation and Curettage): A procedure to remove tissue from the uterus, typically after a miscarriage or abnormal bleeding.

  • Hysteroscopy: A procedure to look inside the uterus for diagnosis and treatment of conditions like fibroids or polyps.

Gynecological surgery may be recommended if you have:

  • Fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus)

  • Endometriosis (tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it)

  • Cervical or uterine cancer

  • Ovarian cysts

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Abnormal bleeding

  • Infertility issues

  • Miscarriage or pregnancy complications

Before surgery, you will undergo a thorough consultation and evaluation with your gynecologist. This may include:

  • A physical examination

  • Imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI

  • Blood tests

  • Discussion of the risks, benefits, and possible outcomes of the surgery

  • Pre-operative instructions, such as fasting or stopping certain medications

The type of anesthesia used depends on the procedure and your health. Most gynecological surgeries are performed under:

  • General anesthesia (you will be asleep during the surgery)

  • Regional anesthesia (such as an epidural or spinal block, numbing the lower half of your body)
    In some cases, local anesthesia may be used for minor procedures.

Recovery time varies based on the type of surgery:

  • Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery: Recovery can take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks.

  • Open surgery (e.g., traditional hysterectomy): Recovery may take around 6 to 8 weeks.
    Your doctor will provide detailed instructions on how to care for yourself post-surgery, including activity restrictions and when to resume normal activities.
