Gynaecological surgeryLaparoscopic & gynaecological surgery in Bengaluru
Keyhole and open surgery for fibroids, ovarian cysts and other conditions, including laparoscopic hysterectomy, at Cloudnine Hospital, Whitefield, recommended only when it's the right option for you.
Being told you may need an operation is unsettling. Understanding exactly why, and what it involves, makes a real difference.
Dr Sreeja recommends surgery only when other treatments haven't helped or aren't suitable. Before you decide, you'll know the reason, the risks, the recovery time and the alternatives.
Wherever possible, she uses laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, done through a few small cuts with a camera and fine instruments. It usually means less pain, smaller scars and a quicker return to everyday life. She has special training in laparoscopy and in gynaecologic oncology at Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bengaluru.
Operations she performs
Surgery takes place at Cloudnine Hospital, Whitefield. The right procedure depends on your condition and on whether you plan a future pregnancy.
Diagnostic laparoscopy
A look inside the pelvis through a tiny camera, to find the cause of ongoing pain or difficulty getting pregnant, such as endometriosis or blocked tubes. Problems found can often be treated at the same time.
Myomectomy
Removal of fibroids while keeping the uterus, which matters for women who want to have children in future.
Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus, laparoscopically or as open surgery, for conditions such as large fibroids or heavy bleeding that hasn't improved with other treatment.
Ovarian cyst surgery
Removal of cysts that are large, persistent or painful, keeping healthy ovarian tissue wherever possible.
Hysteroscopy
A slim camera passed through the cervix to look inside the uterus and treat polyps or an abnormal lining, including TCRE, without any cuts on the abdomen.
D&C
Dilatation and curettage, a short procedure to sample or clear the lining of the uterus.
