Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for removing the uterus, while laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy involves surgically removing an ovarian cyst while aiming to preserve healthy ovarian tissue where appropriate. These procedures may be recommended for selected gynaecological conditions after detailed evaluation. Dr Shaunak Saha provides surgical consultation and evaluation for patients requiring treatment for selected gynaecological conditions. The exact procedure depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, imaging findings, age, reproductive considerations and overall health. Depending on the medical indication, additional procedures involving the ovaries or fallopian tubes may sometimes be considered. Treatment is planned individually following discussion of the benefits, risks and alternatives. SPECIFICATIONS: Procedure: Laparoscopic hysterectomy or ovarian cystectomy Specialty: Gynaecological surgery Approach: Minimally invasive laparoscopy Conditions: Selected uterine or ovarian conditions Assessment: Clinical examination and imaging Target organs: Uterus and/or ovary Anaesthesia: Usually general anaesthesia Incisions: Small abdominal incisions Treatment planning: Individualised Recovery: Depends on procedure and patient factors FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What is a laparoscopic hysterectomy? A: It is a minimally invasive operation to remove the uterus using small abdominal incisions and a camera. Q: Can an ovarian cyst be removed without removing the ovary? A: In selected cases, ovarian cystectomy can remove the cyst while preserving the remaining ovarian tissue. The appropriate approach depends on the cyst and individual circumstances. Q: Is every ovarian cyst treated with surgery? A: No. Many ovarian cysts can be monitored, while surgery may be recommended depending on symptoms, size, appearance and other clinical factors.

Laparoscopic rectopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat rectal prolapse by restoring the rectum to a more appropriate position and securing it within the pelvis. Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum stretches and protrudes through the anus. Symptoms can include a visible bulge, difficulty with bowel movements, constipation, mucus or bleeding and bowel-control problems. Dr Shaunak Saha provides clinical evaluation for patients experiencing symptoms suggestive of rectal prolapse. Assessment may include physical examination and, where appropriate, investigations such as colonoscopy, anorectal testing or imaging. The choice of rectal prolapse operation depends on factors including the extent of prolapse, age, general health, bowel function and associated pelvic conditions. SPECIFICATIONS: Procedure: Laparoscopic rectopexy Condition: Rectal prolapse Surgical field: Rectum and pelvis Approach: Laparoscopic abdominal surgery Assessment: Clinical and appropriate diagnostic evaluation Objective: Restore and secure the rectum Possible technique: Suture or mesh-supported fixation depending on case Anaesthesia: Usually general or regional anaesthesia depending on procedure Recovery: Individualised Suitability: Determined after specialist assessment FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What is rectal prolapse? A: Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum stretches and protrudes through the anus. Q: Does rectal prolapse always require surgery? A: Surgery is commonly required for complete rectal prolapse, although treatment depends on the individual condition. Q: What is rectopexy? A: Rectopexy is a surgical technique in which the rectum is repositioned and secured within the pelvis. If you notice a bulge from the anus, difficulty passing stool or changes in bowel control, consult Dr Shaunak Saha for an appropriate evaluation.

A hernia occurs when internal tissue pushes through a weak area in the surrounding muscle or abdominal wall, creating a bulge or swelling. Laparoscopic hernia repair uses small incisions, a camera and specialized instruments to repair the affected area. Dr Shaunak Saha provides evaluation and surgical consultation for patients with suspected inguinal, abdominal or other suitable hernias. The choice between laparoscopic and open repair depends on the type and location of the hernia, previous surgery, symptoms, overall health and other clinical factors. Depending on the hernia and surgical technique, reinforcement with surgical mesh may be considered. The appropriate repair method is determined after individual assessment. SPECIFICATIONS: Procedure: Laparoscopic hernia repair Conditions: Inguinal and selected abdominal hernias Approach: Minimally invasive keyhole surgery Assessment: Clinical examination and imaging when required Repair: Closure and reinforcement of the weakened area Possible reinforcement: Surgical mesh where clinically indicated Anaesthesia: Usually general anaesthesia Incisions: Small abdominal incisions Recovery: Individualised according to procedure and patient health Suitability: Determined by the surgeon FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What are common signs of a hernia? A: A visible or palpable bulge in the groin or abdomen, discomfort or pain, particularly with coughing, lifting or straining, can occur. Q: Does a hernia go away on its own? A: A true abdominal wall hernia generally does not repair itself. Surgical treatment may be recommended depending on symptoms, type and risk. Q: Is laparoscopic hernia surgery suitable for everyone? A: No. The appropriate technique depends on the type of hernia, previous operations, health status and surgical assessment. Have a persistent groin or abdominal bulge evaluated by Dr Shaunak Saha and discuss the most appropriate hernia treatment for your condition.

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive operation to remove the appendix, most commonly when appendicitis requires surgical treatment. Laparoscopy uses a camera and specialized instruments introduced through small abdominal incisions. It is a commonly used approach for appendix removal.
