At Paul’s Hospital, we understand how important gynaecological health is to women’s overall well-being. Advancements in medical technology have opened new doors for safer, less invasive treatments—and one of the most groundbreaking innovations in this field is gynaecological endoscopy. With our team of expert specialists, Paul’s Hospital has become a trusted leader in offering these advanced procedures, ensuring that you receive top-tier care with minimal disruption to your life.
What Is Gynaecological Endoscopy?
Gynaecological endoscopy is a modern, minimally invasive technique that allows doctors to examine and treat conditions within the reproductive system without the need for large incisions. By using specialised instruments equipped with cameras, doctors can get a detailed view of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs. At Paul’s Hospital, we offer both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures, providing a comprehensive approach to your health.
The Techniques Behind Gynecological Endoscopy at Paul’s Hospital
HysteroscopyHysteroscopy is performed by inserting a thin, lighted tube through the cervix to examine the uterine cavity. It’s a crucial tool for diagnosing and treating conditions like abnormal bleeding, fibroids, polyps and uterine anomalies. At Paul’s Hospital, we use the latest equipment to ensure the most accurate results with minimal discomfort.
LaparoscopyLaparoscopy, also known as keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a camera is inserted. This allows our expert gynaecologists to explore the pelvic cavity and identify conditions like endometriosis,fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or ovarian cysts. Laparoscopy is also used for fertility investigations and procedures like tubal ligation. The precision offered by laparoscopy at Paul’s Hospital ensures a quick recovery and minimal scarring.
Why Choose Gynaecological Endoscopy at Paul’s Hospital?
The benefits of gynaecological endoscopy are numerous, especially when performed by the skilled team at Paul’s Hospital:
Faster Recovery Time: Our minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery time, allowing you to return to your routine sooner.
Minimal Scarring: Unlike traditional surgery, endoscopy uses tiny incisions, leaving only small, discreet scars.
Lower Risk of Complications: With less tissue damage and precise control, endoscopic procedures come with fewer risks, such as infection and blood loss.
Accurate Results: The high-quality images provided by the endoscopic camera allow our doctors to make precise diagnoses and treatment decisions.
Common Gynecological Endoscopy Procedures at Paul’s Hospital
At Paul’s Hospital, we offer a range of endoscopic procedures tailored to your specific needs:
MyomectomyThis procedure involves the removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. It can be performed via hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, depending on the size and location of the fibroids.
Ovarian CystectomyLaparoscopy is often the preferred method for removing ovarian cysts, especially when preserving ovarian function is important.
Hysterectomy
In this procedure, uterus along with the fallopian tubes and/ or ovaries are removed by the method of laparoscopy without any large incisions. This can be performed for very large uterus as well.
Conservative/ Excision surgery with adhesiolysis for Endometriosis
Based on the severity of endometriosis and fertility status, conservative or excision surgery for endometriosis can be performed via laparoscopy
Polypectomy
Endometrial polyps can be removed via hysteroscopy
Uterine septal incision/ resection
Uterine anomalies like septum can be incised or resected through hysteroscopy thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy
Tubal LigationLaparoscopic tubal ligation is a permanent contraceptive procedure with a quicker recovery time than traditional methods. Paul’s Hospital offers this as a safe and effective option for women seeking long-term birth control.
Tubal Recanalisation
This is a method by which ligated tubes can be re attached to regain the possibility of pregnancy if tubal ligation was performed previously
Diagnostic ProceduresIf you are experiencing unexplained pelvic pain, heavy periods, or infertility, diagnostic endoscopy may be recommended. This helps us identify the cause of your symptoms without the need for more invasive surgery.

How to Prepare for Your Gynecological Endoscopy at Paul’s Hospital
Preparation is key to a successful procedure. Here’s how you can get ready:

Fasting: For laparoscopic procedures, you may be asked to fast for a few hours before your surgery.
Clear your doubts: You will have a final sit down session with your consultant few hours before the procedure to discuss any doubts that you may have
What to Expect After the Procedure
At Paul’s Hospital, we prioritise your comfort and recovery. While recovery times vary, most patients can resume light activities within a week after a laparoscopy, and often even sooner for hysteroscopy.
Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience mild cramping, bloating, or spotting. These side effects are common and typically resolve quickly.
Follow-Up Care: We will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing progress and discuss any pathology results or further treatments if needed.
