When surgery is needed for fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or other gynaecological conditions, minimally invasive techniques mean smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Dr. Indumathi Thayar holds a Diploma in Laparoscopy from Germany and specialises in advanced minimally invasive gynaecological surgery.
Conditions Commonly Treated
- Uterine fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Endometriosis
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Diagnostic evaluation for unexplained pelvic pain or infertility
Why Minimally Invasive Matters
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic and robotic approaches typically involve smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activity — while achieving the same surgical goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laparoscopic surgery safe?
Yes — it's a well-established surgical approach performed routinely for a wide range of gynaecological conditions, with a strong safety record when performed by a trained specialist.
How long is the recovery after laparoscopic surgery?
Recovery is typically faster than open surgery — often a return to light activity within one to two weeks, though this varies by procedure and individual.
Will I need to stay in the hospital?
Many laparoscopic procedures involve a short hospital stay of one to two days, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
