Diagnostic & Operative Hystero - Laparoscopy

A spacious and well equipped (instruments of international brands) endoscopy unit is one of our pride.......

Hysteroscopy involves the placement of an telescope (the hysteroscope) through the dilated cervix, directly into the uterine cavity (womb). Abnormalities inside the uterine cavity such as scar tissue (from prior infection or pregnancy), fibroids, polyps, or malformations (mullerian anamolies) can be found, and repaired at the same time, during hysteroscopy.No incisions are required for this, and the procedure usually takes about ten minutes. The recovery from a hysteroscopy is generally only 24-48 hours, since no incision is required. Risks are minimal, and include very low chances of bleeding, infection, or uterine perforation.

Diagnostic hysteroscopy involves examining the cervix, the volume & distension of the uterine cavity, the inner lining (endometrium) of the uterus and presence of any abnormality or infection. The piece of endometrium is sent for TB-PCR test to discover the presence of genital tuberclosis infection.

Operative hysteroscopy generally involves -
1. Polypectomy - removal of polyps
2. Myomectomy - removal of fibroids
3. Adhesiolysis - removal of bands of Asherman's Syndrome
4. Septoplasty - removal of septum (correcting uterine defects)
