Most gynecologic surgical conditions can be managed through a laparoscopic, hysteroscopic or vaginal approach. The procedures include laparoscopic myomectomy and hysterectomy, hysteroscopic myomectomy and polypectomy, and vaginal hysterectomy for the large or undescended uterus. In most of these instances, the results are comparable with those of open intervention and are associated with a decreased duration of post-operative recovery. Minimally invasive intervention depends significantly on physician training and the availability of proper instrumentation. We have already initiated the procedures for acquiring state-of-the art minimally invasive equipment to replace our current systems. At the same time, we are creating a minimally invasive surgical support center with an aim to train all obstetrics and gynecology faculty members in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic intervention.
