Understanding Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery

Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery (MIGS) has revolutionized women's healthcare by offering effective treatments with reduced recovery times and fewer complications. At SSD / Echelon Hospital, Dr. Archana Kshirsagar, Gynaecologist, and our dedicated team specialize in these advanced techniques to provide personalised care for various gynaecological conditions.

What is Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery?
MIGS encompasses surgical procedures performed through small incisions or natural body openings, utilizing specialized instruments and cameras. This approach contrasts with traditional open surgeries that require larger incisions, leading to longer recovery periods.

Common MIGS techniques include:

• Laparoscopy: Involves inserting a thin, lighted tube with a camera (laparoscope) into the abdomen to diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cysts.

• Hysteroscopy: Entails inserting a hysteroscope through the cervix into the uterus to address issues such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, and fibroids.

• Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Utilizes robotic systems to enhance precision and control during complex procedures, often employed in hysterectomies and myomectomies.

Benefits of MIGS
Opting for minimally invasive techniques offers several advantages over traditional open surgery:

• Smaller Incisions: Resulting in reduced scarring and minimized postoperative pain.

• Shorter Hospital Stays: Many MIGS procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

• Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience quicker return to daily activities and work.

• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced chances of infection and less blood loss during surgery.

Conditions Treated with MIGS
MIGS is effective in managing a variety of gynecological conditions, including:
● Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths causing heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.
● Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and infertility.
● Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries that can cause discomfort and hormonal imbalances.
● Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The descent of pelvic organs due to weakened support structures.
● Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Irregular or excessive menstrual bleeding impacting daily life.

Is MIGS Right for You?
Determining the suitability of MIGS depends on individual factors such as overall health, the specific condition, and personal preferences. A thorough evaluation by a qualified gynecologist is essential to assess the best treatment approach.
