What Does Minimally Invasive Surgery Imply?

Instead of the huge wounds required in typical surgery, minimally invasive surgery utilizes small cuts in the skin or no cuts whatsoever.

Minimally invasive surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures. Each one necessitates the use of an endoscope by the surgeon. An endoscope is a slender tube with a light and a small video camera attached to one end. The endoscope allows the physician to see into the body and perform surgery using very tiny surgical equipment.

What Are the Different Minimally Invasive Surgery Procedures?

Depending on your unique needs and treatment goals, there are various forms of minimally invasive surgical procedures available. These include:

v  Endoscopy: Your specialist drives the endoscope through the body’s natural apertures without any cuts.

v  Laparoscopy: The surgeon inserts the endoscope and special operating tools into the body through small cuts (also known as ‘keyhole’ incisions or cuts).

v  Robotic surgery (robot-assisted surgery): Your surgeon creates tiny incisions to steer the endoscope and robotic equipment inside the body. Then, he directs the operation from an adjacent computer station.

Why Might You Require Minimally Invasive Surgery?

To establish if you require minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Oktay, and the staff at Innovation Fertility Preservation and IVF examine your health history and discuss your symptoms. Before contemplating surgery, you may profit from medication therapy and other procedures.

However, if conservative options fail, your doctor may suggest minimally invasive surgery to address conditions such as:

·  Uterine fibroids

·  Irregular periods

·  Heavy periods

·  Endometriosis

·  Ovarian cysts

·  Vaginal incompetence

·  Proximal tube blockage

What Are the Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery?

When looking for a surgical solution for your fertility concerns, you should anticipate faster healing with minimally invasive surgery than with conventional open surgery. Minimally invasive surgery only requires small cuts to fix damage to your reproductive tissues or eliminate fibroids or cysts. Furthermore, it is less disruptive to your body. Thus, patients may enjoy the following benefits:

·  Less discomfort and medication

·  Reduced bleeding

·  Reduced scarring

·  Shorter hospitalization

·  Reduced risk for infections

·  Minimized recovery time so that you may resume your routine activities

After your procedure, the Innovation Fertility Preservation and IVF specialists provide follow-ups on your recovery process via routine exams. If necessary, your doctor might provide some pain relievers to help alleviate the discomfort following surgery.

Not all procedures should (or can) be performed via minimally invasive techniques. Your practitioner will advise you on what form of surgery is appropriate for you and your kid. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Oktay through mobile or book online to find out more.
