Open Traditional Gynecological Surgery

Overview

Open traditional surgery involves performing gynecological procedures via an abdominal incision. This approach is sometimes necessary for large tumors, complex fibroids, extensive adhesions, or advanced pelvic conditions that cannot be safely addressed laparoscopically.

Indications

• Large uterine fibroids
• Extensive endometriosis
• Severe pelvic adhesions
• Complex pelvic organ prolapse
• Gynecological malignancies requiring wide excision

Procedure

A carefully planned incision provides direct access to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic organs. The surgeon performs the required procedure—such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, or adhesiolysis—while ensuring meticulous hemostasis and tissue preservation.

Benefits

• Direct visualization and access to pelvic organs
• Safe management of complex or advanced conditions
• Allows simultaneous treatment of multiple pathologies

Recovery

Hospital stay is typically 3–5 days, with full recovery in 6–8 weeks depending on the extent of surgery.
