Hysteroscopic Operations

Hysteroscopic surgeries are minimally invasive surgical procedures used to observe and perform interventions within the uterus. This technique involves inserting a thin, flexible tube called a hysteroscope into the uterus. The hysteroscope is equipped with a camera and light source, allowing the surgeon to view the inside of the uterus in detail. Hysteroscopic surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia and are used for diagnosing and treating various intrauterine problems. Here is more detailed information about hysteroscopic surgeries:

Why It’s Done:

• Hysteroscopic surgeries are used to diagnose and treat intrauterine problems.
• The hysteroscope allows detailed observation of the uterine walls, helping to evaluate conditions such as polyps, fibroids, intrauterine adhesions, and endometriosis.
• It can also be used to determine the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding and to correct various pathologies through hysteroscopic surgery.

Types of Hysteroscopic Surgery:

Polypectomy:

• The removal of polyps from the inside of the uterus. Polyps are tumor-like growths that develop on the uterine wall.

Myomectomy:

• The removal of fibroids from within the uterus. Fibroids are benign tumors located in the uterine wall.

Adhesiolysis:

• The removal and correction of intrauterine adhesions. Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that cause the walls of the uterus to stick together.

Septum Resection:

• The correction of septal anomalies within the uterus. This procedure aims to resolve issues caused by the presence of a septum (a partition) within the uterus.

Advantages:

• As a minimally invasive method, it results in less tissue damage and a faster recovery process.
• Patients experience less pain and discomfort.
• The hospital stay is usually shorter, allowing patients to return to daily activities more quickly.
• It is aesthetically advantageous, as it does not involve large incisions.

Risks and Considerations:

• Like any surgical procedure, hysteroscopic surgeries carry certain risks, including infection, bleeding, and, rarely, injury to internal organs or other complications.
• A detailed evaluation is conducted before the operation, and the patient is informed about the surgical procedure.
• The experience of the surgical team and the quality of the equipment play a significant role in the success of the operation.

Hysteroscopic surgeries are effective methods for diagnosing and treating intrauterine problems. However, since every patient and surgical situation is different, it is important to consult with the surgical team to determine the appropriateness and best techniques for the procedure. The treatment plan is tailored to the patient's specific situation and needs.
