Hysteroscopic Surgery

Hysteroscopy involves insertion of a tiny telescope inside the uterus, in order to diagnose and treat conditions like polyps, septum, intrauterine adhesions, myomas, removal of impacted IUD.

Hysteroscopic Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions inside the uterus. It involves the insertion of a thin, lighted telescope (hysteroscope) through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity, without any external cuts. This allows direct visualisation of the uterus and precise treatment of intrauterine abnormalities.

Why Choose Hysteroscopic Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Approach

Hysteroscopy is performed without abdominal incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.

Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment

Direct visualisation of the uterine cavity allows accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment in the same procedure.

Fertility-Preserving

Hysteroscopic surgery helps restore normal uterine anatomy and is often recommended for women planning pregnancy or facing infertility issues.

Short Hospital Stay

Most hysteroscopic procedures are performed as day-care surgeries with quick return to daily activities.
