RAJOURI, Jan 2: Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, GMC Rajouri started minimal access, Laparoscopic Gynaecological surgeries, wherein ‘Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy’ was performed by HoD Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dr Chander Shekhar and team under the petronage of Principal GMC Rajouri Prof (Dr) A S Bhatia.
Medical Superintendent Associated Hospital GMC Rajouri, Dr Mehmood Hussain Bajar provided all types of logistic support in conducting the surgery on the basis of zero expenses out of pocket under Aayushman Bharat Sehat Scheme.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a Gynaecological surgical procedure, which involves removing the uterus and cervix (neck of the womb) using a keyhole (Laparoscopic) technique and removing it through the vagina. We may also remove the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic lymph nodes.
A total hysterectomy is usually the preferred option over a subtotal hysterectomy, as removing the cervix means there’s no risk of developing cervical cancer at a later date.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a preferred choice over traditional hysterectomy because of shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, typically patients have less pain, little to no blood loss, lower risk of abdominal infection and other complications.
Minimal access, Laparoscopic Gynaecological surgeries will now be performed routinely as a part of commitment of the college to promote minimal access procedures.
