List of Gyn Surgeries

The following is a summary of the surgeries I happened to see over the 2 weeks of Gynecology. The number after shows how many of each procedure I saw.

1. Tension Free Vaginal Tape Obturator, Sacrospinous fixation - for urinary incontinence - 2
2. Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectemy - Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes
3. Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy - 2
4. Laparoscopic Right Salpingo-Oophorectemy - The right ovary had a cyst about the size of a human head. We sucked out the fluid and the cyst was very easily removable after that!
5. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectemy - with staging for cancer - thank goodness, there was no evidence of malignancy!
6. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy - 3
7. Total Vaginal Hysterectomy - 3
8. Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy - 2
9. Laparoscopic Assisted Supra-cervial Hysterectomy - You leave the cervix in
