Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery lets Dr. Umma Salma Chowdhury treat many gynecological conditions through a few small incisions instead of one large cut. Using a thin camera and specialised instruments, she operates with precision while minimising trauma to the body.
For most patients this means less bleeding, lower infection risk, minimal scarring and a noticeably quicker recovery — often going home the same or next day.
