Gynecological and obstetric surgery services and Complications
Natural childbirth refers to the delivery of a baby without the use of pain-relieving medications, epidurals, or cesarean sections, unless medically necessary. This type of birth emphasizes the body’s natural ability to perform the labor and delivery process. In natural childbirth, techniques such as breathing exercises, relaxation, and support from the birthing team are often utilized.
Complications Normal Delivery: Surgical complications of natural childbirth are rare and usually include perineal tears, damage to pelvic floor muscles, bladder or uterine prolapse, and vaginal bleeding. More common issues related to natural delivery involve severe labor pain, constipation, breast engorgement, and mood swings.

Instrumental Delivery complications: Complications related to anesthesia and surgery may include bleeding, wound infection, injury to adjacent organs such as the bladder andComplicationsظ intestines, thrombosis (blood clot formation), and in rare cases, maternal death. Problems for the baby may also occur, such as slow breathing or injury during delivery. In future pregnancies, issues like placental adhesion or difficulty in subsequent deliveries may arise.

The process of delivering a baby through a cesarean section.
Cesarean Section complications: Short-term complications of cesarean section include post-surgical pain, infection, severe bleeding, constipation, bloating, and reactions to anesthesia. Long-term risks may involve blood clots, damage to internal organs, problems in future pregnancies (such as placenta accreta), weakening of uterine muscles, postpartum depression, and in very rare cases, maternal death or injury to the baby.
D&C (Dilation and Curettage) is a procedure where the inside wall of the uterus is scraped through the vagina for the purpose of evacuation or diagnosis.
Evacuation Curettage complications: Possible complications include abnormal bleeding, uterine infection, muscle cramps, damage to the cervix or uterus (such as perforation), and in rare cases, Asherman’s syndrome (intrauterine adhesions). Other possible symptoms are fever, prolonged pain, and foul-smelling vaginal discharge.
Abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed through a large incision in the abdominal wall. This surgery is typically performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, uterine cancer, or other uterine problems that cannot be treated with other methods. During this procedure, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other organs related to the uterus may also be removed.
Abdominal Hysterectomy Complications: General surgical complications such as bleeding, infection, blood clots, and anesthesia reactions, plus specific risks like damage to pelvic organs such as the bladder and rectum, early menopause, and psychological issues like depression and anxiety.
A vaginal hysterectomy is a type of surgery in which the uterus is removed through the vagina. This procedure is typically performed when the uterus needs to be removed due to conditions such as fibroids, infections, cancers, or other diseases. Unlike abdominal hysterectomy, no incision is made in the abdominal wall, and the surgeon accesses the uterus through the vagina. This method generally offers a shorter recovery period and less pain.
Vaginal Hysterectomy Complications: Common complications include infection, bleeding, urinary problems (such as burning or frequent urination), pain and swelling, and early menopause symptoms (if the ovaries are removed). There is also a risk of injury to nearby organs such as the bladder or bowel, blood clots in the legs or lungs, and psychological problems such as depression.
Colpography or Colpocleisis is a surgical procedure typically performed to treat issues related to the weakness or prolapse of muscles and tissues in the vaginal and bladder area. This surgery may be used to address problems such as uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, or issues with the vaginal wall. The aim of the surgery is to strengthen and repair the tissues in the vaginal area to improve function and prevent further complications
Colporrhaphy complications: Usually mild and temporary, complications may include pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, wound infection, and urinary problems. More serious but rare risks include damage to pelvic organs, fistula formation, or recurrence of prolapse.
Mammoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to change the size, shape, or structure of the breasts. This procedure can include breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) or breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty). Mammoplasty is typically done for aesthetic reasons, medical issues like back or neck pain due to large breasts, or to correct breast abnormalities.
Mammoplasty complications: Possible complications include scars, infection, bleeding, blood clots (embolism), decreased or altered nipple sensation, breast asymmetry, poor wound healing, skin discoloration, and inability to breastfeed.
