Firm Hospitals’ Laparoscopic center is committed to providing excellent and compassionate health care ranging from simple to advanced laparoscopic surgeries. It is well equipped with state-of-the-art technology gadgets to make the procedure simple and safe. Even complex surgeries like Laparoscopic Surgery for Myomectomy and Laparoscopic Surgery for Fibroid are simplified with the skill and expertise of Dr. Mala Raj. It is to be mentioned that Laparoscopic surgery for myomectomy and the removal of fibroids with laparoscopic surgery for fibroid is the best treatment option for fibroids. Even with a complex procedure such as Laparoscopic Surgery for Myomectomy and Fibroid management, the patient can be discharged the very next day involving the removal of uterus and fibroids laparoscopically.
Laparoscopy is the term used for surgery in the abdominal cavity using thin, long tubular rod like instruments called Telescope, which are introduced via tiny incisions on the abdomen.
To the end of the Telescope, A camera is attached which allows us to view, magnify and record the image on the monitor. This is called minimally invasive otherwise known as Band-Aid surgery, where very small incisions are made.
For minimally invasive operations on the abdomen, Incisions may be only a half inch long, Compared to four to six inches for Traditional “open abdominal surgery”, which is termed as Laparotomy.
Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a doctor to observe a woman’s uterus, ovaries and a fallopian tube. It is often used to detect ovarian cysts, fibroids, scar tissue, and diagnose pelvic or abdominal pain, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy or blocked fallopian tubes.
Laparoscopic surgeries are usually done as a day care procedure under general anaesthesia. The viewing tube (called the laparoscope) is equipped with a small camera on the eyepiece and is inserted through a small incision in the naval. The doctor can then examine the abdominal and pelvic organs on a video monitor connected to the tube. Other small incisions can be made to insert instruments to perform a variety of procedures. Laparoscopy is less invasive than regular open abdominal surgery (laparotomy).
Laparoscopy was first used by gynaecologists to diagnose and treat conditions relating to the female reproductive organs: uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is now used for a wider range of procedures, including operations that in the past required open surgery, such as removal of fibroids, cysts, uterus, tubal pregnancy and to find out the cause of Infertility. Laparoscopy can also be used to examine the appendix, gallbladder or liver.
Dr. Mala is an expert in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy which requires great skill and expertise as the entire uterus is removed laparoscopically along with suturing which is also done laparoscopically. There are tremendous benefits to the patient by doing an entire surgery laparoscopically compared to hybrid surgery, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy where half the surgery is done laparoscopically and the remaining half is done vaginally.
During Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, we believe in not removing the ovary unless it is diseased, as the ovary produces a hormone called ‘androgen’, even after Hysterectomy, which is important for normal sexual functioning and for the well being of the woman. Firm Hospitals prides itself on the fact that it is one of a few hospitals with expertise in Laparoscopic Surgery for Myomectomy and Fibroid care.
