Developments in surgery for women

There was a time not too long ago when us females had quite a rough time of it whenever we had to undergo certain medical procedures in hospital. ‘Intimate’ types of surgery required long stays in hospital and left us with abdominal scarring and the feeling of not feeling ‘quite right’ for many weeks on end. Those days are far behind us.

In recent years huge advances have been made in areas such Urogynecology with the development of the gynecologic laparoscopy procedure. This, in effect, means that when undergoing major abdominal surgery most procedures are now performed with the use of key-hole surgery. Instead of a huge incision and many stitches, the surgeon makes a small incision and carries out the procedure with the minimal amount of invasion. This is great news for women everywhere as it means less discomfort afterwards, risk of infection is controlled and a much quicker recovery in the post surgical period.
