What is minimally invasive gynecological technology? Minimally invasive gynecological technology in a narrow sense refers to some new technologies and procedures that have been widely used in gynecological clinics in recent decades, including hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery and a series of techniques performed through the female vagina. Minimally invasive gynecological techniques, in a broad sense, cover almost all gynecological surgical procedures, from the grasp of surgical indications, the choice of surgical methods, more delicate surgical procedures, less bleeding, to the thickness of the stitches used during surgery and whether they are permanently non-absorbable, etc., all reflecting the concept of “minimally invasive”. Why Hysteroscopy Hysteroscopy is the modern gold standard for diagnosing intrauterine lesions. It allows direct magnification of the uterine cavity and histopathological examination under direct vision. Hysteroscopy is an option when one of the following conditions occurs: abnormal vaginal bleeding, unexplained infertility, miscarriage, intrauterine foreign bodies, uterine adhesions, uterine malformations, abnormal echoes in the uterus on ultrasound, and intrauterine lesions requiring detection and characterization. What diseases can be treated by hysteroscopic surgery Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery performed through natural channels. In addition to the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay, it also has unique benefits such as no abdomen opening, no uterine incision and no impact on ovarian function, but the indications for the surgery are stricter and it is the preferred treatment for submucosal fibroids, polyps, uterine septum, uterine adhesions, inlaid rings and recalcitrant gonorrhea. Transvaginal hysterectomy The vagina is the natural passage for women, and the uterus is connected to the vagina through the cervix and to the outside world. Transvaginal hysterectomy is more direct, less invasive and faster than open or laparoscopic hysterectomy, and it is suitable for cases of uterine prolapse, fibroids, adenomyosis, CIN III or recalcitrant miscarriage, and can be considered first for those who need to remove the uterus. Since non-prolapsed hysterectomy requires a high level of skill for the hospital and the individual surgeon, the decision should be made after evaluation by a surgeon skilled in this technique. What is laparoscopic surgery The familiar laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common laparoscopic procedures in the field of surgery. Laparoscopic surgery, also known as “punch or keyhole” surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure performed with the aid of a camera system, light source and special instruments, requiring only two to four 0.5cm-1cm punctures and no visible scars in the abdomen. Can minimally invasive gynecological surgery clean the lesions? The biggest difference between minimally invasive gynecological surgery and conventional open surgery is the difference in surgical equipment and surgical approach, and the doctor needs to choose a reasonable surgical method according to the patient’s different conditions. For example, in the case of fibroids, the doctor may recommend transvaginal myomectomy, hysteroscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic or transvaginal hysterectomy, or open hysterectomy, depending on the size, location, and number of fibroids, the patient’s age, fertility, and quality of life requirements. Choosing a hospital with a full range of minimally invasive surgical techniques is the only way to have multiple options. Regardless of the surgical route, the core requirement, the most basic requirement, is to guarantee patient safety, ensure reasonable surgical scope, and cut clean lesions.
