Gynecological Surgery Q&A
What is Gynecological Surgery?
Gynecological surgery is a surgical procedure performed on a woman’s reproductive system. Specific areas treated using female genital surgery include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. This type of surgery is used to treat benign conditions, such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, bladder surgery for incontinence, genital prolapse as well as cervical cancer and uterine cancer.
If you are struggling with infertility your OBGYN / Dr. Madhav may use gynecological surgery to help repair the condition preventing you from getting pregnant such as treatment of scarring from infections, endometriosis, opening of fallopian tubes and removing uterine fibroids.
Does Dr. Madhav Perform Minimally Invasive Gyn Surgery in Boynton Beach and Atlantis/Lake Worth?
Yes, Dr. Madhav performs minimally invasive gynecological procedures at Bethesda Hospital in in Boynton Beach, FL as well as at JFK Medical center in Atlantis/ Lake Worth Florida. These include a myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids, as well as a robotic hysterectomy. Other types of minimally invasive surgeries include the laparoscopic removal of ovarian cysts, scar tissue, and endometriosis. By choosing minimally invasive surgery you experience a far shorter healing time and are able to get back to your active lifestyle same day or the next day. Minimally invasive surgery for a gynecological procedure is equally effective as conventional procedures.
What is the Da Vinci Robot Assisted Surgery / Hysterectomy?
The Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is an FDA approved gynecological surgery that uses a Robotic equipment called Da Vinci. This method is a minimally invasive technique that is used for hysterectomies and other gynecological procedures by very experienced surgeons after extensive training. It is also used for the removal of uterine fibroids. By using this robotic surgical procedure Dr. Madhav is able to provide the most precise degree of incisions and dissections during the surgical procedure.
When combined with laparoscopy, a da Vinci hysterectomy is the least invasive surgery possible. A laparoscopic procedure involves a series of tiny cuts made around the belly button. A abdomen is distended using inert gas, after which the robotic instrument is inserted to complete the hysterectomy or any other procedure for which a robot is being used by Dr. Madhav. As the patient you are able to recover in rapid time, and you aren’t left with a large incision or scar due to your gynecological surgery.
