Gynecological surgery, or operative gynecology, is a branch of gynecology that deals with the development of indications and techniques for surgical interventions for various diseases of the female reproductive system, as well as methods for managing the preoperative and postoperative periods.
Gynecological surgery may be necessary to treat diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease and others. Depending on the cause of the disease, the surgeon may choose one of several surgical methods, such as laparoscopic surgery, which allows surgery through small incisions in the abdominal wall, or open surgery, in which an incision is made in the anterior abdominal wall.
The preoperative period includes preparing the patient for surgery, as well as conducting the necessary tests and examinations. The postoperative period may include monitoring the patient in the hospital, taking measures to prevent complications and recovery after surgery.
Thus, surgical gynecology is an important branch of gynecology, which allows you to effectively treat various diseases of the female reproductive system using surgical methods.
