Gynecological Surgery at Helyos Medical Center
Lower abdominal pain, menstrual cycle irregularities, and pelvic discomfort are symptoms that women frequently attribute to daily stress or passing hormonal imbalances. However, these presentations often point to specific gynecological diseases, a portion of which requires specialized surgical intervention.
The gynecological surgeons at Helyos Medical Center in Dnipro conduct both advanced minimally invasive day surgeries and complex planned inpatient operations. Below is an overview of when surgical care is indicated, what methods are utilized, and how the process is managed from the initial check-up to full rehabilitation.
What is gynecological surgery?
Gynecological surgery focuses on the operative treatment of diseases affecting the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic organs. It also encompasses specialized care in gynecological oncology for pre-malignant and malignant conditions.
Patients are referred to a gynecological surgeon when conservative drug therapies fail to deliver stable results, or when the nature of the condition dictates surgery as the primary path to recovery.
Modern gynecological surgery is heavily centered on endoscopic approaches. Laparoscopic operations are carried out via miniature punctures in the abdominal wall, while hysteroscopic procedures are performed transcervically, entirely avoiding external cuts. This minimizes surgical trauma and facilitates a rapid, clean recovery.
Please note: Uterine fibroids (myomas) are diagnosed in nearly every second woman by the age of 50, representing one of the most common benign tumors. Crucially, in the vast majority of cases, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) is completely unnecessary. Modern myomectomy techniques remove only the fibroid nodes, preserving the organ and protecting a woman's reproductive potential.
Diagnostics and primary indications for surgery
Prior to planning any intervention, the gynecological surgeon performs a comprehensive clinical exam and outlines the required diagnostic scope. The basic baseline package typically includes a pelvic ultrasound, which can be supplemented with diagnostic hysteroscopy, CT scans, and specialized lab workups as clinically indicated.
At Helyos, the entire diagnostic workup takes place under one roof: we host a private laboratory, an AI-enhanced 128-slice CT scanner, and digital mammography with built-in AI support. If any simultaneous changes are detected in the breast tissue, a cross-consultation with our expert mammologists is instantly arranged.
Surgical consultation is indicated for the following conditions:
- Uterine fibroids (myomas) accompanied by abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or rapid growth kinetics;
- Ovarian cysts that fail to regress naturally over observation cycles or require precise histological typing;
- Endometrial polyps and endocervical polyps;
- Endometriosis with severe, debilitating clinical symptoms;
- Tubal-peritoneal factor infertility and intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome);
- Pelvic organ prolapse (rectocele, cystocele);
- Ectopic pregnancy (an emergency condition);
- Cervical dysplasia requiring radical tissue clearance.
Important! A sudden, sharp, or severe pain in the lower abdomen — particularly when combined with a delayed menstrual cycle or a spike in body temperature — requires immediate emergency medical evaluation. The Helyos inpatient hospital and emergency operating rooms run 24/7 without exceptions. Our private ambulance fleet 7-103 is available for dispatch round the clock.
Primary classifications of gynecological operations
Helyos covers the entire operational spectrum within gynecology. The choice of the surgical approach depends on the diagnosis, the anatomical extent of the lesion, and the patient's individual reproductive plans.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: laparoscopic myomectomy, cystectomy, adnexectomy; advanced excision of endometriosis foci, and tubal sterilization.
- Hysteroscopic Procedures: hysteroscopic polypectomy, removal of intrauterine adhesions, resection of submucosal fibroids, and diagnostic/therapeutic curettage.
- Vaginal Surgery: anterior/posterior colporrhaphy, surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse, and excision of Bartholin's gland cysts.
- Cervical Interventions: loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), radiofrequency conization, cervical biopsy, and treatment of high-grade dysplasia.
- Open Abdominal Surgery (Laparotomy): abdominal hysterectomy and open staging/resection for exceptionally complex multi-organ pelvic masses.
At Helyos, our surgical philosophy centers on prioritizing endoscopic approaches — specifically laparoscopic and hysteroscopic access paths.
Laparoscopy ensures superior, magnified visualization of the pelvic field, which vastly cuts down post-operative pain, limits tissue scar formation, and drastically speeds up the hospital discharge timeline compared to legacy open surgeries.
Hysteroscopic interventions are carried out completely transcervically — directly through the cervix without any abdominal incisions or punctures, providing the ideal approach for treating intrauterine pathologies.

- How should I prepare for a gynecological surgeon appointment?
For the consultation, it is recommended to prepare medical documents in advance, including test results and ultrasounds, information about previous surgeries, and current medications. It is important to clearly describe your symptoms, their duration, and your menstrual cycle. This preparation allows the doctor to quickly determine the optimal examination and treatment plan.
- What is a gynecological surgeon appointment like?
During the appointment, the doctor will conduct an examination, assess the condition of the pelvic organs, and review the test and imaging results. The doctor will determine whether conservative treatment or surgery is necessary and will explain the possible surgical and rehabilitation options to the patient.
- Can surgery be avoided for uterine fibroids?
In some cases, uterine fibroids can be treated conservatively, using medication or hormonal therapy. The decision depends on the size of the fibroid, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's plans for pregnancy. The gynecological surgeon will evaluate the effectiveness of conservative treatment and, if necessary, prescribe surgery.
- What are the alternatives to surgery for ovarian cyst treatment?
For small and benign cysts, dynamic observational therapy with regular ultrasounds and hormonal monitoring is possible. Medications are sometimes used to cause cyst regression. Surgery is indicated for large, symptomatic, or complicated cysts. A gynecological surgeon will individually select the treatment method to preserve health and reproductive function.
