Endoscopy
Minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedures for women’s health.
Gynaecological Endoscopy in Gregory Hills
Gynaecological endoscopy uses specialised cameras and instruments to diagnose and treat conditions through small incisions or natural openings, avoiding the need for traditional open surgery. Dr Nader Bakhit is trained in advanced endoscopic techniques including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.
Endoscopic procedures offer significant advantages over open surgery, including smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities. Dr Bakhit consults at Gregory Hills and Liverpool and performs procedures at partner hospitals in south-west Sydney.
Types of Gynaecological Endoscopy
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy, often called keyhole surgery, involves inserting a small camera through tiny incisions in the abdomen. It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and tubal pathology.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy involves passing a thin camera through the cervix to visualise the inside of the uterus. It is commonly used to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, remove polyps or fibroids, and treat intrauterine adhesions.
Diagnostic Endoscopy
When the cause of symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or infertility is unclear, diagnostic endoscopy allows Dr Bakhit to directly visualise internal structures and identify the underlying issue.
Operative Endoscopy
In many cases, treatment can be performed during the same procedure as diagnosis, avoiding the need for a separate operation. This means faster resolution of symptoms and fewer hospital visits.
What to Expect During an Endoscopic Procedure
Endoscopic procedures are typically performed under general anaesthetic at a hospital or day surgery facility. Before your procedure, Dr Bakhit will explain the process, answer your questions, and ensure you are fully informed.
Most laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures are day surgery, meaning you can return home the same day. Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, but most women return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Dr Bakhit will provide specific post-operative instructions and arrange follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.
