Gynecologic Surgery

What is Gynecologic Surgery

Gynecologic surgery encompasses a diverse range of procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, or managing conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These procedures may involve various organs such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. Gynecologic surgery is crucial in addressing reproductive, gynecologic, and obstetric concerns through tailored surgical interventions.

Risks and Complications

• Surgical Complications: Common complications include bleeding, infection, organ injury, and thromboembolic events, which may require additional interventions.
• Functional Impairment: Surgery may result in altered sensation, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary or sexual dysfunction, infertility, or changes in body image, impacting physical and emotional well-being.
• Reproductive Consequences: Some surgeries have long-term reproductive consequences, necessitating counseling and support for affected individuals.
