Gynaecs update skills on hysteroscopy

Upto 25 gynaecologists participated in the two-day live hysteroscopy workshop by renowned specialist from Egypt, Dr Osama Ahmed Shawki, Professor in Department of OBGYN at Cairo University, at KIMS Hospitals in Kondapur that concluded on Tuesday.

Talking about the response for workshop, organiser Dr Kavitha Naragoni, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, KIMS Hospitals said, “The workshop was aimed at teaching about instruments, technique, complications and hands on training for the procedure.”

Hysteroscopy is an innovative technology used worldwide to help women with gynaecological problems. Dr Shawki stated, “A hysteroscope is a long, narrow endoscope used to diagnose problems in woman’s uterine cavity. It is equipped with optics and a camera, and operated with tiny scissors or biopsy instruments for surgical procedures.”

It is a minimally invasive surgery that usually takes 2¬5 minutes and can be used to treat infertility, fibroid tumours, abnormal uterine bleeding and post menopausal bleeding patients.
