Gynecology & Obstetrics: A Quick Overview Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and breasts. Gynecologists treat menstrual issues, fertility problems, infections, pelvic pain, and reproductive cancers. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. Obstetricians monitor both mother and baby during pregnancy, manage labor and delivery (including cesareans), and handle complications. OB/GYN combines both fields. These specialists provide complete care for women—ranging from routine exams and family planning to pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal support. Key Areas of OB/GYN Care: Prenatal check-ups Labor & delivery management Postpartum support Gynecological exams (Pap smears, pelvic exams) Family planning & contraception Regular visits to an OB/GYN ensure women’s reproductive health is well-managed through every stage of life.

Laparoscopic surgery, or “keyhole surgery,” is a minimally invasive technique performed using a telescope-like instrument (laparoscope) through small incisions (0.5–1.5 cm). It offers faster recovery, less pain, minimal scarring, and shorter hospital stays compared to open surgery. How It Works: Small Incisions: Multiple tiny cuts replace a large incision. Laparoscope: A thin tube with a light and camera gives a magnified view of the internal organs. Surgical Tools: Specialized instruments are inserted through trocars. Gas Insufflation: The abdomen is inflated with CO₂ to create space for better visibility. Common Procedures: Gynecology: Hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal, tubal ligation Gastrointestinal: Gallbladder and appendix removal, colectomy Urology: Kidney or prostate surgery General Surgery: Hernia repair, splenectomy Bariatric Surgery: Gastric bypass for weight loss Benefits: Minimal scarring Less pain and bleeding Quick recovery Lower infection risk Laparoscopic surgery requires expert training and is now widely used due to its safety and patient-friendly outcomes.
