Gynaecological Endoscopy Treatment in Mumbai
Because of significant technological and medical advances and the sophistication and miniaturization of the equipment, endoscopy has been used in Gynaecology and Obstetrics. Endoscopy has numerous applications in modern gynecology, and the list grows by the year.
Gynecological endoscopy is a surgical procedure that employs optical instruments specifically designed to diagnose gynecological disorders and pathologies such as infertility, small vaginal hemorrhages, and endometrial polyps. The development of these tiny devices, which allow doctors to operate inside the body without requiring open surgery, has significantly improved patients’ conditions.
Endoscopic surgery is likely the most significant advancement in surgical practice in Gynaecology. It is increasingly preferred over the abdominal approach due to well-known benefits such as minimal trauma, excellent visualization, low incidence of complications, adhesion reduction, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and aesthetically pleasing results with the minor scarring.
Endoscopy has established a firm place in the management of infertility. Endoscopic surgical techniques may develop rapidly in the near future to meet the diverse needs of female patients.

Types of Gynecological Endoscopic Techniques
Endoscopy in obstetrics and gynecology is classified into three types: laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and salpingoscopy.
1. Laparoscopy
As technology advances, laparoscopic surgery rapidly replaces traditional surgery, except in the most challenging cases. A diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable tool for assessing patients with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, adhesions, endometriosis, and a gynecological cancer grading adjunct.
The clear visualization of the peritoneal cavity helps with diagnosis and allows for an accurate assessment of the severity of these conditions. The laparoscopic approach is now the preferred treatment method for infertility, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, myoma uteri, ovarian tumors, etc.
2. Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy has proven invaluable in assessing patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and postmenopausal bleeding. The uterine cavity is dilated with liquid before using a resectoscope or hysterofiberscope during hysteroscopy.
Many operative procedures can now be performed hysteroscopically thanks to the development of hysteroscopes with operating channels and instruments such as scissors, biopsy forceps, snares, and electrosurgical operating devices such as ball and loop electrodes.
Submucous myoma uteri, uterine anomalies, and Asherman syndrome are the most common reasons for hysteroscopic surgery. Female sterilization can also be done hysteroscopically with the help of various mechanical occlusive devices or plugs.
3. Salpingoscopy
It is a valuable pre-operative diagnostic tool for examining the tubal cavity and a powerful tool for tubal recanalization. Salpingoscopy allows for direct evaluation of the ampullary tubal mucosa during laparoscopy. When evaluating patients with tubal infertility, the condition of the tubal mucosa is the most important prognostic factor.
The doctor inserts a fiberoptic endoscope, commonly called a salpingoscope, through the cervical canal to view the uterus and fallopian tubes during this procedure. This information can then be used to identify and treat obstructions, adhesions, and other diseases and conditions. Salpingoscopy has allowed for a more accurate selection of patients for tubal surgery.

Applications of Gynecological Endoscopy
- Endoscopic surgery can determine the cause of vaginal hemorrhages or anatomical changes without requiring surgical intervention.
We can spot the difference between:
- Endometrial changes (atrophies or hyperplasia)
- Polyps in the endometrium
- Endometrial adhesion
- Septa or malformations of the uterus
- Myomas (benign tumors)
- In cases of endometriosis and ovarian tumors, gynecological endoscopy can avoid the need for a major operation.
- It is the quickest method of tubal ligation and is effective in diagnosing certain infertility cases.
Benefits of Gynecological Endoscopy
- Recovery after endoscopy is faster than traditional surgery because interventions are brief, and patients stay in the hospital for a short period. Infections after surgery are less likely than with conventional surgery.
- Simultaneously, the procedure’s costs are reduced when performed in a smaller surgical unit instead of larger hospitals and clinics.
- It is worth noting that modern surgical techniques are meticulous, and anesthetic procedures allow for a quick recovery. There are almost no side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Make a list of questions to bring to your first gyno appointment. This will make you feel more prepared. A list will also assist you in not forgetting anything. You can leave the doctor’s office with peace of mind if you discuss your concerns during your first appointment.
You should see a gynecologist for the first time between the ages of 13 to 15. The consultation will be private and include general testing and examination of your reproductive health.
Side effects from endoscopy are rare. However, following your endoscopy, look out for the following signs and symptoms:
- Fever.
- Bloody, black, or very dark-coloured stool.
- Chest pain.
- Shortness of breath.
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain.
- Vomiting.
Eat or drink nothing for at least 8 hours before the procedure. Medication can be taken four hours before the exam with small sips of water. Take no antacids, Carafate, or any other medicines before the procedure. Dress in loose, comfortable clothes.
Propofol is the most commonly used medication. It can produce “general anesthesia” at very high doses, as used in surgery. Deep sedation necessitates more careful patient monitoring during endoscopy.
It is a painless procedure. The doctor can administer anesthesia or a light sedative injection to make the exam comfortable.
You come in on the day, and it’s usually a half-hour to an hour process in which you take the test and recover in the recovery room. And then you go home, preferably with someone driving you home and staying with you for the next 24 hours if you were sedated for the test.
