Scarless Surgery (vNOTES)
Advanced Gynaecological Surgery Without Visible Abdominal Scars
vNOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) is the latest evolution in minimally invasive gynaecology. By using a specialized platform to access the pelvic cavity through the vaginal canal, we can perform complex procedures without any incisions on the abdomen.
- • Hysterectomy
- • Ovarian cyst removal
- • Salpingectomy
- • Diagnostic procedures
- • Truly zero abdominal scars
- • Reduced post-op pain
- • Faster return to activities
- • Shorter hospital stay
Note: vNOTES is technically demanding and requires specialized training. Dr. Rafi is one of the pioneers offering this approach for complex cases.
Large Fibroid Keyhole Surgery
Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for Large and Complex Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids can grow to significant sizes, causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and fertility issues. While many are told they need “open” surgery, Dr. Rafi specializes in removing even very large fibroids laparoscopically (keyhole).
Laparoscopic Myomectomy: This procedure allows for the precise removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus. We use advanced suturing techniques and morcellation bags to ensure safety and anatomical integrity.
- Preservation of fertility
- Minimal blood loss
- 1-2cm incisions vs 15cm
- Rapid recovery time
Surgeon experience is critical when dealing with large fibroids to avoid conversion to open surgery and ensure a strong uterine repair.
Huge Ovarian Cyst Keyhole Surgery
Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for Large Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can sometimes grow to several kilograms in weight, leading to persistent bloating, pain, and risks of torsion (twisting).
Our approach focuses on a tailored removal or decompression technique. Using high-definition laparoscopic imaging, we can identify the thin layer of healthy ovarian tissue often stretched over a large cyst.
Surgical Goals
- Healthy Tissue Preservation: Carefully separating the cyst wall to save as much of the ovary as possible.
- Controlled Decompression: Reducing cyst volume safely during surgery to allow removal through tiny ports.
Deep Endometriosis Surgery
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery for Complex Endometriosis
Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE) occurs when endometriosis tissue grows more than 5mm beneath the peritoneal surface, potentially affecting the ovaries, bladder, bowel, and pelvic nerves.
Symptoms of DIE are often severe, including chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bowel issues, and extreme fatigue.
- Complete excision of all visible disease
- Restoration of normal pelvic anatomy
- Significant improvement in quality of life
We employ a multidisciplinary team-based approach, coordinating with colorectal and urology specialists when necessary to ensure comprehensive care for complex DIE cases.
