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.

Our further goal is to achieve more advanced endoscopic surgery in the same roof for excellent patient care in Minimally invasive gynae surgical procedure.
