What are the common surgical methods in Gynecology?
Gynecology encompasses a variety of surgical methods designed to address reproductive health issues. Some of the most common surgeries include:
- Hysterectomy: The removal of the uterus, which can be performed abdominally, vaginally, or laparoscopically. - Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and fibroids. - Myomectomy: The surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. - Tubal Ligation: A form of permanent sterilization where the fallopian tubes are cut, tied, or sealed. - Dilation and Curettage (D&C): A procedure to remove tissue from the inside of the uterus, often used to diagnose or treat uterine conditions.
