Led by Dr. Tanvi Hirekerur-Abhyankar and Dr. Bharati Abhyankar — minimally invasive keyhole surgery for gynaecological conditions, with less pain and a quicker return to normal life.
Many gynaecological problems that once needed a large abdominal cut can now be treated through a few tiny incisions. In laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery a thin camera and fine instruments are passed into the abdomen, giving the surgeon a magnified view and precise control. For the right condition this usually means less pain, smaller scars and a faster return to everyday life than open surgery.
Surgery is never the first step. Many women improve with medicines, and hysterectomy is considered only as a last resort — our guide on heavy or irregular periods explains the full range of treatments before surgery.
Every operation is planned after a careful examination, ultrasound and the necessary blood tests in our in-house pathology laboratory. Surgery is performed in our fully equipped operation theatre, and anything removed is sent for examination where needed. We explain the benefits, the alternatives and the recovery before you decide, and you are never rushed into surgery. Our billing team assists insured patients with cashless claims.

It depends on the operation and your general health. Many women are up and walking the next day and return to light daily activity sooner than after open surgery. Your surgeon will give you specific advice on rest and when to resume work.
No. Many cases are managed with medicines, or with keyhole surgery that removes only the fibroids or endometriosis and keeps the uterus. Hysterectomy is advised only when other options are not suitable.
Cover depends on your policy, but Purva Hospital offers hassle-free cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team assists throughout.
