Laparoscopic Hysterectomy / Ovarian Cystectomy
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.
