Overview

Understanding the Specialty

Gynecology covers several possible care pathways. The appropriate assessment, alternatives, expected benefits, risks and follow-up depend on each person’s health and must be discussed with a qualified professional. Elysium Guide provides orientation and does not diagnose or recommend a treatment.

Related Procedures

Open a family to compare canonical procedures; technical variants and devices are explained within the relevant procedure.

Hysteroscopy and uterus4

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy passes a small camera through the cervix to examine and sometimes treat conditions inside the uterine cavity. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy removes the uterus through an abdominal, laparoscopic or vaginal route; consequences for fertility are permanent. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Endometrial ablation or uterine curettage

Endometrial ablation destroys selected uterine lining, while dilation and curettage removes tissue for investigation or treatment; fertility implications and alternatives differ. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Myomectomy

Myomectomy removes selected uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus through hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, robotic or open access according to their position and size. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Ovaries, tubes and endometriosis6

Gynecologic laparoscopy

Gynecologic laparoscopy uses small abdominal incisions and a camera to diagnose or treat selected pelvic conditions. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Ovarian surgery

Ovarian surgery may remove a cyst, one ovary or an ovary with its tube; tissue preservation, pathology and hormonal or fertility consequences require separate discussion. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Fallopian tube surgery and sterilisation

Fallopian tube surgery includes salpingectomy, salpingostomy or permanent sterilisation; the intended effect on fertility and the possibility of failure or ectopic pregnancy must be understood. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Ectopic pregnancy surgery

Ectopic pregnancy surgery removes the pregnancy from or with the affected tube when urgent or selected management requires an operation; follow-up and future fertility discussion remain important. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Endometriosis surgery

Endometriosis surgery excises or ablates selected lesions and may involve ovaries, bowel, bladder or ureters in complex disease; goals, fertility and multidisciplinary planning vary. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Pelvic adhesiolysis

Pelvic adhesiolysis divides scar bands between organs; the reason for surgery, risk of organ injury and possibility of new adhesions require balanced discussion. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Cervix and vulva4

Cervical excision procedure

Cervical excision removes abnormal tissue using a loop or cone specimen for treatment and laboratory examination; future pregnancy and follow-up screening may be relevant. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Trachelectomy

Trachelectomy removes the cervix and selected surrounding tissue while preserving the uterine body in some cancer pathways; fertility and obstetric consequences are substantial. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Bartholin gland surgery

Bartholin gland surgery drains or removes a cyst or abscess through marsupialisation or excision; recurrence, bleeding and pathology considerations differ. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Vulvar surgery

Vulvar surgery ranges from local lesion excision to partial or wider vulvectomy; wound location, pathology, urinary and sexual function shape the pathway. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Pelvic floor and incontinence4

Vaginal prolapse repair

Vaginal prolapse repair supports the front or back vaginal wall and pelvic floor using sutures and selected native tissues; recurrence and bladder, bowel or sexual function matter. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Sacrocolpopexy or hysteropexy

Sacrocolpopexy supports the vaginal vault and hysteropexy preserves and suspends the uterus; access route and use of mesh require explicit discussion. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Colpocleisis

Colpocleisis closes part or most of the vaginal canal to support severe prolapse and permanently changes the possibility of vaginal intercourse. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Surgery for urinary incontinence

Surgery for stress urinary incontinence may use a mid-urethral sling or colposuspension; material, voiding function, alternatives and long-term complications differ. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Gynaecological oncology3

Gynaecological lymph node surgery

Gynaecological lymph node surgery samples a sentinel node or removes selected pelvic or para-aortic nodes for staging; lymphatic complications and pathology guide follow-up. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Ovarian cancer debulking surgery

Ovarian cancer debulking removes visible disease and may combine hysterectomy, adnexal surgery, omentectomy and bowel or upper-abdominal procedures within specialist oncology care. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Pelvic exenteration

Pelvic exenteration removes several pelvic organs for selected advanced or recurrent cancers and requires complex urinary, bowel, sexual and reconstructive planning. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
