Reproductive Surgery

Overview of the procedure

Reproductive surgery is the application of surgery to the study of reproduction. It can be used as a method of contraception, such as in vasectomy, which involves severing a man's vas deferens, but it is also widely employed in assisted reproductive technologies. Infertility issues in some women's reproductive systems make it difficult for them to conceive. These can include uterine birth defects as well as diseases like polyps, fibroids or endometriosis. 

Reproductive surgery refers to gynaecological procedures that are expressly intended to maintain or restore reproductive function. Specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility among gynaecological surgeons are specifically trained to pay attention to a woman's future reproductive requirements. This procedure can be carried out in either our offices or the operating room, depending on the severity of the condition.

About the procedure

In the area of reproductive medicine, reproductive surgery involves surgery. Gynaecologists and urologists who focus on reproductive surgery make up the reproductive surgeons group. They are professionals in the conservative management of both male and female reproductive organs.

Specialists in reproductive surgery have training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery methods like laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and robotic surgery. Myomectomy (the treatment for fibroid), endometriosis and tubal ligation reversal are a few of the conditions that may be treated with gynaecological surgery.

Who qualifies for the procedure?

Reproductive surgery is a subset of gynaecological surgery that has as its primary goal preserving or restoring reproductive function. Specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility among gynecologic surgeons have undergone special training to be aware of a woman's potential future reproductive needs. Reproductive organ damage from surgery is something that should be kept to a minimum. The setting of a day surgery allows for the completion of numerous minimally invasive procedures.

Why is the procedure conducted?

Chromopertubation—the injection of dye through the fallopian tubes—is frequently done when the procedure is carried out for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes on women who are infertile to determine tubal patency. A transcervical cannula, typically a patent cannula used for uterine manipulation, is used to inject a diluted solution of methylene blue dye during this procedure. A sign of tubal patency is the dye spilling from each tube, which is noted.

Benefits of the surgery

The need for reproductive surgery as a primary surgical treatment for infertility has decreased as a result of the accessibility of assisted reproductive technology. Operative laparoscopy produces outcomes that are on par with those from comparable procedures when reproductive surgery is necessary. 

It is carried out by an open laparotomy and is linked to a quicker recovery, a shorter length of stay in the hospital, and a lower risk of ileus. In addition, less glove powder enters the operating room, and the pneumoperitoneum's tamponade of small blood arteries reduces bleeding. Due to the right atmosphere in which surgery takes place, tissue drying is limited.

Risks and Complications

Fertility issues brought on by adhesions might be severe. Surgery can sometimes remove adhesions, but it can also leave them in some cases. In fact, previous abdominal surgery, and particularly pelvic surgery, continues to be a significant risk factor for tubal infertility. The majority of patients undergoing myomectomy are known to develop adnexal adhesions. The likelihood of developing adhesions increases with the amount of tissue damage sustained during surgery.

Conclusion

If it would be beneficial for your specific condition, our skilled reproductive surgeons can improve your capacity to conceive by performing extremely sophisticated operations or minimally invasive treatments (in most cases).

1. Why are reproductive procedures performed?

Infertility-causing reproductive problems such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis and uterine fibroids can be medically treated by our specialists using the latest cutting-edge techniques. Gynaecologic procedures expressly designed to preserve or restore reproductive function are referred to as reproductive surgery.

2. How much time does reproductive surgery require?

The time of the procedure can vary from one to three hours, depending on your health. You will need one or two hours to recuperate.

3. What is surgery for infertility?

Infertility surgery entails an operation for either men or women to address a structural issue that is the root of infertility and may result from a condition. Surgery can treat endometriosis, fibroids, polyps and other issues with the reproductive organs, as well as other causes of infertility in women.

4. Why would someone want their womb removed?

The uterus is surgically removed during a hysterectomy. You can no longer get pregnant, and you've stopped menstruating. This procedure is performed for cancer, fibroids, irregular bleeding, and uterine prolapse. Depending on the type of surgery you had, recovery typically takes four to six weeks.

5. What is surgery for female reproductive organs?

Reproductive surgery refers to gynaecological procedures that are expressly intended to maintain or restore reproductive function. Specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility among gynaecological surgeons are specifically trained to pay attention to a woman's future reproductive requirements.
