Conventional gynecological surgery refers to surgical procedures that are performed on the female reproductive system. These procedures are usually done through an incision in the abdomen or vagina, and they may include hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), removal of ovarian cysts, treatment of endometriosis, and repair of prolapsed organs.
The specific procedure that would be recommended for you would depend on your individual case and the reason for your consultation. For example, if you have a uterine fibroid, a hysterectomy may be recommended. If you have endometriosis, a laparoscopy to remove the endometrial tissue may be recommended. If you have ovarian cysts, a laparoscopy to remove the cysts may be recommended.
Conventional gynecological surgery typically requires a hospital stay and a recovery period of several weeks. Pain and discomfort can be managed with medication. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within 6-8 weeks, but it may take longer for some.
It is important to note that in recent years, minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery have become increasingly popular as they typically result in less pain and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. The type of surgery that will be recommended for you will be based on your specific case and the surgeon's expertise and experience.
Your surgeon will discuss with you the risks, benefits and alternatives of the surgery, and answer any questions you may have. It is important that you have a good understanding of the procedure and feel comfortable with the decision before proceeding with the surgery.
