What is Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgery (MIGS) refers to advanced surgical techniques that involve smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, faster recovery, and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.

 

These procedures are typically performed using laparoscopic or hysteroscopic methods. At Khetarpal Hospital, we combine precision technology with clinical expertise to treat gynaecological conditions with minimal disruption to a woman’s body and lifestyle.
