Minimal Access Surgery
Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgery in Indirapuram
Laparoscopy — keyhole surgery through two to four incisions under a centimetre long — has replaced open surgery for most gynecological operations. It means less pain, a shorter hospital stay, smaller scars and a quicker return to work. Hysteroscopy goes further, treating problems inside the uterus with no external incision at all. Dr. Bhavya Rathore holds a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (FMAS) and performs laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures at Cloudnine Hospital, Indirapuram.
Overview
In laparoscopy, a thin camera and fine instruments are inserted through small incisions, and the abdomen is gently inflated with gas to create working space. Most procedures take one to two hours under general anaesthesia; patients usually go home the same day or the next. Hysteroscopy uses a slim telescope passed through the cervix to see and treat the inside of the uterus, often as a day-care procedure.

Frequently asked questions
Is laparoscopy safe?
Laparoscopy is a well-established, safe approach with lower complication rates than open surgery for most gynecological conditions. As with any surgery, risks exist and are discussed in detail before consent.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients go home within 24 hours and return to desk work in about a week. Strenuous activity is resumed after two to four weeks depending on the procedure.
Can every gynecological surgery be done laparoscopically?
Most can. Very large fibroids, suspected cancer or extensive adhesions may need an open approach — this is assessed individually.
