Gynaecology Services and Surgeries
Gynaecology is a medical specialty that focuses on the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina.
Gynaecology encompasses many health issues, including menstrual problems, fertility issues, menopause, sexually transmitted infections, and gynaecological cancers. A gynaecologist’s role is to ensure that women receive appropriate and comprehensive care for their reproductive health.

Diagnostic Tests
We recognize the importance of timely diagnosis of gynaecological issues. Diagnostic Laparoscopy and Diagnostic Hysteroscopy are important diagnostic tests we use to evaluate the female reproductive system and detect various gynaecological conditions.
These minimally invasive procedures are associated with fewer complications, faster recovery times, and better outcomes compared to traditional open surgeries.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy:
Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the gynaecologist to visualize the organs inside the abdomen and pelvis. In this procedure, a laparoscope is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen. The camera sends images to a monitor, allowing the gynaecologist to examine the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs in the pelvic region.
Diagnostic laparoscopy can diagnose and treat various gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease. It can also be used to assess fertility issues, such as tubal patency, and to evaluate the extent of gynaecological cancers.
Diagnostic Hysteroscopy:
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the gynaecologist to examine the inside of the uterus. A hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus during the procedure. The hysteroscope sends images to a monitor, allowing the gynaecologist to examine the uterine lining and detect any abnormalities.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat various gynaecological conditions, including abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, polyps, and adhesions. It can also assess the uterine cavity before infertility treatment or remove abnormal tissue for biopsy.
Endometrial Sampling:
This is a diagnostic procedure involving the removal of a small sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus for laboratory analysis. It is performed to evaluate abnormal uterine bleeding, such as heavy or irregular menstrual periods, postmenopausal bleeding, or bleeding between periods. Endometrial sampling can help diagnose conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and other uterine abnormalities.
Gynaecology Surgeries
We offer a range of gynaecological surgeries, including minimally invasive open procedures and robotic-assisted surgeries (in the process), to treat various gynaecological conditions.
Our gynaecological surgeries include:
Hysterectomy:
This is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus.
Our specialized surgeons perform different types of hysterectomies, including total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, and laparoscopic radial hysterectomy, based on the patient's medical condition.
Myomectomy:
This is a surgical procedure involving removing uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.
Our highly skilled surgeons perform various forms of myomectomy, including laparoscopic myomectomy and hysteroscopic myomectomy, depending on the patient's condition.
Ovarian Cystectomy:
This is a surgical procedure involving the removal of ovarian cysts. Based on the patient's condition, we perform different types of ovarian cystectomies, including laparoscopic cystectomy.
Endometrial Ablation:
This is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterine lining. At 3rd Park Hospital, we perform different types of endometrial ablation procedures, including hysteroscopic endometrial ablation, based on the patient's condition.
Exploratory Laparotomy:
Involves visualizing and examining the organs in the abdomen and pelvis. It is performed to diagnose and treat a variety of gynaecological conditions, such as endometriosis, adhesions, ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Laparoscopic Ectopic:
Involves visualizing the ectopic pregnancy and operating on it.
Polypectomy:
Involves the removal of polyps, an abnormal growth of tissue.
Adenomyomectomy:
A surgical procedure involving the removal of adenomyosis, which is a condition in which endometrial tissue grows within the muscle walls of the uterus. Adenomyosis can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and infertility.
Adhesiolysis:
A surgical procedure involving the removal or cutting of adhesions, which are bands of scar tissue that can develop between organs or tissues in the body. Adhesions can occur after surgery or inflammation, and can cause severe symptoms, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and bowel obstruction.
Endometriosis:
A complex surgery involving the excision of endometriosis nodules, ovarian cysts, nodules in the bladder or rectum, ureteric surgery both conservative or radical surgery. This is a life changing surgery affecting quality of life and fertility related issues.
Gynae oncology:
This is surgery for cancer/malignancy related to the reproductive tract-vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries etc. With our expert faculty, we have undertaken numerous oncology surgeries by both the open and minimally invasive routes.
Hysteroscopy:
This is surgery through visualization of the uterine cavity, from simple diagnostic procedures to complex metroplasty, asherman’s syncholysis, polypectomy, ablation, myomectomy and septum resection. Having the IBS (Integrated Biggati Shaver), gives us an edge over other centre to do complex procedures with ease and safety.
Laparoscopy in pregnancy:
Having a surgery in pregnancy is no easy feat. We offer laparoscopic procedures in certain indicated scenarios in pregnancy whenever feasible, making it easy for the pregnant women to recover quickly.
Pelvic floor surgeries:
These are surgeries related to the uterine, rectal or bladder prolapse following a weakness of the pelvic floor. We undertake both native tissue repairs as well as laparoscopic mesh repairs in indicated cases.
