Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery

MizMedi Hospital is the top class Gynecologic Endoscopic Surgery Center that performs average of 200 surgeries per month and 2,000 surgeries per year. At MizMedi, over 90% of gynecologic diseases including uterine myoma, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ectopic pregnancy, and endometrial polyps are treated with laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery is the latest surgical method that only requires small incisions of 0.5~1cm compared to previous laparotomy which leaves a large scar on the patient’s abdomen. For laparoscopic surgery, approx. 1cm incision is made near the belly button where 2~3 liters of carbon dioxide gas is injected to create a space for the surgery. Then, 2~3 of additional incisions are made on the lower abdomen to insert apparatus for laparoscopic surgery. After surgery, injected carbon dioxide gas is drawn out. Patients can walk or eat on the day and be discharged 3~4 days after surgery.

• Myomectomy
• Hysterectomy

• Hydrosalpinx Removal
• Pelvic Adhesiolysis
