Minimally Invasive Gynaecology Surgery
Over the years, the gynaecologic surgery has evolved from primary abdominal approach to the current focus on minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. It is one of the greatest surgical innovations revolutionizing the management of many gynae operative cases endoscopically. The Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgery division of AIIMS, New Delhi is currently being led by senior Professor and unit head Dr K. K. Roy. We have a dedicated, hard-working team of expert gynae endoscopic surgeons who strive to provide a safer and an effective alternative to traditional open surgery. With the availability of wide range of endoscopic instruments, equipments and electrosurgical generators, we are able to provide the best care to the patients. Surgeries performed range from simple office hysteroscopy to operative hysteroscopy and diagnostic minilaparoscopy to all major laparoscopic surgeries including malignancies. Around 150-170 endoscopic surgeries are performed in each month. Minimally invasive surgeries offer various advantages to patients like reduced pain, less bleeding, shorter hospital stay and early postoperative recovery. Patients undergoing diagnostic procedures are discharged after two hours of the procedure and those undergoing operative procedures are usually discharged on the second or third day of surgery depending upon the surgical procedures. We keep ourselves updated with the latest research and regularly conduct workshops and CMEs. Various research studies are done every year pertaining to minimally invasive gynae surgery. The division is being credited with more than 200 publications in indexed national and international journals.
A two years fellowship program is offered in the domain through an entrance exam of AIIMS conducted twice in a year (January and July), Admission is based on a two-stage evaluation process i.e. written test and departmental clinical/practical assessment. MD/MS in Obstetrics and Gynaecology with 3 years teaching experience is the eligibility criteria for fellowship. It is a comprehensive academic program and squarely covers the clinical, research and surgical aspects related to the domain. A research project is undertaken by the selected candidate during his/her tenure. Our goal is to further develop the skills of budding gynae endo-surgeons. Five candidates have completed fellowship so far and are serving different parts of the country. Our further goal is to achieve more advanced endoscopic surgery in the same roof for excellent patient care in Minimally invasive gynae surgical procedure.
