Gynaecology Surgery
In recent years, several advancements have revolutionized gynaecology surgery, leading to improved outcomes and reduced patient recovery times. Some notable advancements include:
- 1. Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are minimally invasive surgical techniques provided by Dr Shammas that use small incisions and specialized instruments, allowing her to perform complex procedures with less trauma to surrounding tissues. These procedures result in shorter hospital stays, less scarring, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
- 2. Robot-Assisted Surgery: Robotic-assisted surgery has become increasingly popular in gynaecology. Surgeons control robotic arms with enhanced precision, flexibility, and dexterity, enabling more complex surgeries to be performed with improved outcomes.
- 3. Single-Incision Laparoscopy: This innovative technique involves making just one incision, usually in the belly button, to perform gynaecological procedures. It further reduces scarring and enhances cosmetic outcomes.
- 4. Transvaginal Endoscopy: This technique involves accessing the pelvic cavity through the vagina, eliminating the need for external incisions altogether. It's particularly useful for certain diagnostic and treatment procedures.
- 5. Fertility-Preserving Surgeries: Advanced techniques now allow surgeons to perform fertility-preserving surgeries for conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and early-stage gynaecological cancers. These procedures aim to protect a woman's ability to conceive in the future.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery periods following gynaecological surgery can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual patient. Minimally invasive surgeries often lead to quicker recovery times and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries. Dr Shammas will advise you of lifestyle changes you will need to implement post surgery such as avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities during the initial recovery phase.

Postoperative care may involve pain management, wound care, and specific instructions on when to resume normal activities and sexual intercourse. Dr Shammas will advise you of these details prior and post your surgery. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr Shammas are essential to monitor healing and address any concerns.
Dr Shammas employs gynaeoclogy surgery for the treatment of of certain diseases and conditions, and also utilises it as an important aid in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. Advancements in surgical techniques and technology have significantly improved patient outcomes, offering women safer and less invasive options for managing their gynaecological health. As medical research continues to progress, the field of gynaecology surgery will undoubtedly see further innovations, ultimately benefiting women’s health and quality of life.
