Medical Technologies and Equipment

Laparoscopic surgical technology supports diagnosis, treatment, and appropriate physical recovery according to medical guidelines.

• Laparoscopic Surgery
  Uses a small camera inserted through small incisions to examine and perform surgery inside the abdominal cavity, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter recovery times.
• Hysteroscopic Surgery
  Uses a camera inserted through the cervix to examine abnormalities inside the uterine cavity. It may be used for conditions such as polyps, adhesions, and uterine septum.
• Vaginal Ultrasound
  Transvaginal ultrasound is used to assess abnormalities of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries and to support accurate diagnosis.
