You might be hesitant to go through with traditional surgery if you require an operation to enhance your reproductive health, restore your fertility, or reduce pain. This is because of all the potential risks that are associated with traditional surgery. You are aware that you need to take care of yourself, but you would prefer to steer clear of the protracted recuperation period that can keep you from working and preventing you from engaging in other routine day-to-day activities for several weeks or even months.
At LMA, we may be able to perform gynecologic surgery using techniques that are less intrusive on you if the circumstances warrant it. We are highly skilled in laparoscopic and other minimally invasive surgical procedures, which can assist you in regaining your health with little to no disruption to your daily life. Our highly trained physicians at LMA in NJ provide cutting-edge robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery as one of the procedures that may be performed here.
LMA skilled professionals conduct these procedures using the least invasive methods:
- The removal of the myoma (removing uterine fibroids)
- Having a hysterectomy (cancer)
- Surgical removal of the ovaries (removing ovaries)
- Resection of the endometrium or ablation of the uterus
- Pelvic Prolapse repair
- Tubal ligation
It is possible that minimally invasive procedures will not be effective for treating diseases such as large tumors or complications. This is due to the following three significant benefits:
Less Significant Cuts And Scarring
When a surgeon does conventional gynecologic surgery via the abdomen, she makes a broad incision that may stretch from one pelvic bone to the next. This allows her to access all of the organs and structures that need to be accessed. The incision will be made into your muscles, which will be isolated and held apart while the procedure is performed.
When doing minimally invasive surgery, your surgeon will either make a series of small incisions in the pelvic region or try to conceal a single incision within your belly button or vagina. Alternatively, the surgeon may be able to avoid making any incisions at all. Your surgeon will next make a small incision to implant a camera. This camera will provide a magnified, three-dimensional color signal to a display, allowing your surgeon to see you’re inside organs.
After your minimally invasive surgery, your surgeon requires only one to three stitches to seal your incisions. When healed, the scars are scarcely discernible, or if they’re in your vagina or navel, they can’t be seen at all.
Less Discomfort And Less Blood Loss
Smaller incisions and more accurate surgical equipment result in less postoperative discomfort. The smaller incisions also mean that you bleed less during surgery, limiting your need for transfusions or other treatments that might delay your operation and your recovery period.
Faster Recovery
The doctors at LMA routinely conduct minimally invasive surgery on an outpatient basis. If your doctor conducts your minimally invasive surgery in the hospital, you can expect to be released within 24 hours.
The recuperation period for a typical surgical treatment for gynecological diseases may last up to six weeks or more. Even while you may resume most activities at that time, you may remain stiff for weeks to months following. With minimally invasive surgery, though, you can return to work and your usual schedule in just a few days to up to three weeks, depending on the type of treatment you underwent.
