The Minimally Invasive & Robotic Gynaecological Surgery programme at Apollo Adlux Hospital, Kochi offers advanced surgical options for selected benign and complex gynaecological conditions. Depending on the diagnosis and patient suitability, procedures may be performed using laparoscopy, hysteroscopy or robotic-assisted techniques. These approaches may be used for hysterectomy, myomectomy, endometriosis surgery, ovarian cyst surgery, pelvic reconstructive surgery and selected gynaec oncology procedures.

Minimally invasive approaches generally use smaller incisions than conventional open surgery and, depending on the procedure and individual patient, may support reduced postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays and faster return to routine activities.

Hysteroscopy & Uterine Procedures

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat certain conditions affecting the inside of the uterus. A thin telescope-like instrument is passed through the cervix, allowing the gynaecologist to directly visualise the uterine cavity.

Hysteroscopy may be recommended for women with abnormal uterine bleeding, suspected uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids, fertility-related concerns or structural abnormalities of the uterus. Depending on the condition, it may be used for diagnostic evaluation as well as removal of polyps, selected fibroids and other abnormalities within the uterine cavity.

Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and may be recommended when other treatment options are unsuitable or have not provided adequate relief.

It may be considered for conditions such as symptomatic uterine fibroids, persistent abnormal uterine bleeding, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, selected cases of endometriosis and certain gynaecological cancers. Depending on the patient's condition, hysterectomy may be performed through laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, vaginal or abdominal approaches.

Endometriosis Treatment & Surgery

The Endometriosis Care service at Apollo Adlux Hospital, Kochi provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for women with endometriosis. The condition can cause painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, ovarian endometriotic cysts and fertility-related concerns.

Treatment is individualised according to symptoms, disease severity, age and future fertility plans. Management may include medical therapy as well as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery in selected patients. Complex cases may require a multidisciplinary approach, especially when deep endometriosis affects surrounding pelvic organs.

Pelvic Reconstructive & Urogynaecology Surgery

The Urogynaecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery service provides specialised treatment for women with pelvic floor disorders, urinary symptoms and pelvic organ prolapse. Conditions managed include urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, vaginal wall prolapse, pelvic floor weakness and other disorders affecting pelvic support and bladder function. Depending on severity, treatment may involve lifestyle modification, pelvic floor rehabilitation, medical management or surgery. Surgical options may include vaginal prolapse procedures, pelvic reconstructive surgery and selected continence procedures.
