transvaginaalse

Transvaginaalse is a term used in a medical context, primarily in gynecology and obstetrics, to describe a procedure or examination that is performed through the vagina. This approach allows medical professionals to access pelvic organs without the need for abdominal incisions.

Examples of transvaginal procedures include transvaginal ultrasounds, which use a specialized probe inserted into the vagina to visualize the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures. This imaging technique is commonly used for diagnosing gynecological conditions, monitoring pregnancy, and assessing fertility.

Another application is transvaginal surgery, which can be employed for various gynecological interventions such as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), ovarian cystectomy (removal of ovarian cysts), and repair of pelvic organ prolapse. By utilizing the vaginal route, surgeons can often achieve the same therapeutic goals as traditional abdominal surgery but with potential benefits like shorter recovery times and reduced scarring.

The term emphasizes the route of access rather than the specific surgical technique or diagnostic tool being used. It is a descriptive term indicating that the vagina serves as the pathway for the medical intervention. Careful patient preparation and sterile techniques are essential for any transvaginal procedure to ensure safety and minimize the risk of infection.
