Surgery involving the uterus and ovaries can be necessary to treat various gynecological conditions, such as fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and gynecological cancers.
Uterus Surgery
Hysterectomy:The surgical removal of the uterus. It can be partial (removal of the uterus but leaving the cervix intact) or total (removal of both the uterus and cervix). Sometimes, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are also removed (called a total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy). Types of hysterectomy include:.
Abdominal Hysterectomy:Removal of the uterus through an incision in the lower abdomen.
Vaginal Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus through an incision in the vagina.
Laparoscopic or Robotic Hysterectomy:Minimally invasive approaches that use small incisions and specialized instruments to remove the uterus.
Myomectomy:These occur under the skin around the anus and can be painful, especially if they become thrombosed (contain a blood clot).
External Hemorrhoids:These occur under the skin around the anus and can be painful, especially if they become thrombosed (contain a blood clot).
External Hemorrhoids:These occur under the skin around the anus and can be painful, especially if they become thrombosed (contain a blood clot).
Ovary Surgery
Oophorectomy: The surgical removal of one or both ovaries. This procedure may be performed to treat ovarian cysts, tumors, or ovarian cancer.
Salpingo-Oophorectomy:The surgical removal of one or both ovaries and the fallopian tubes. This may be performed for ovarian cancer, ectopic pregnancy, or endometriosis.
Cystectomy: The surgical removal of ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary, often performed laparoscopically.
