If medication does not provide relief, minimally invasive procedures can often fix the problem without the need for major open surgery. These are often performed as “day surgeries” at LIV Hospital.

Hysteroscopy

This procedure involves no incisions. A thin camera is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.

• Use: To remove uterine polyps, small fibroids, or scar tissue that causes infertility.
• Recovery: Most patients go home the same day and return to work within 24 hours.

Endometrial Ablation

For women who suffer from extremely heavy periods but do not want a hysterectomy, ablation is an option.

• Procedure: We use heat, cold, or radiofrequency energy to destroy the lining of the uterus.
• Result: This significantly reduces or completely stops menstrual bleeding.

Laparoscopic Surgery (Keyhole Surgery)

Instead of a large cut on the belly, the surgeon makes 2-3 tiny incisions (less than a centimeter). A camera and thin instruments are used to operate.

• Use: To treat endometriosis, remove ovarian cysts, or perform tubal ligation.
• Benefit: Less pain, less scarring, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
