Hysterectomy
Lewisville Women’s Care offers a range of options for the treatment of uterine diseases, including hysterectomy, at our state-of-the-art facility. Our experienced physicians are dedicated to providing personalized care and can help you explore alternatives to hysterectomy when appropriate. We prioritize informed decision-making, ensuring you have the time to consider all options before proceeding.
We offer both minimally invasive procedures and traditional open surgery for hysterectomy. Minimally invasive options, such as vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies, involve smaller incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. The specific procedure recommended will depend on the extent of the uterus removal required.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy
It is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a small incision in the vagina for uterus removal. It can also address the removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes in some cases. However, certain medical conditions may prevent candidacy for this approach. - Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
The procedure involves small abdominal incisions, typically less than a centimeter, made near the navel or abdomen. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise removal of the uterus or cervix, tailored to your individual needs. - Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
It is another minimally invasive option. It utilizes robotic equipment to enhance surgical precision and visibility, facilitating improved control during the procedure. - Abdominal Hysterectomy
The traditional approach, involves a single, longer incision (6 to 12 inches) in the lower abdomen. While it requires open surgery, it may be necessary in certain cases.
At Lewisville Women’s Care, we prioritize your well-being and ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatment for your condition. Our knowledgeable team will guide you through the decision-making process, addressing the risks and benefits associated with each approach.
Myomectomy
Uterine fibroids are a prevalent health concern among women. These non-cancerous tumors, comprised of muscular tissue, commonly develop during the childbearing years. While some fibroids remain small and asymptomatic, many women may be unaware of their presence. However, for those experiencing troublesome symptoms due to enlarged fibroids, a surgical solution called myomectomy becomes necessary. Dr. Munira Dudhbhai, specializes in this procedure, aiming to alleviate symptoms and restore women’s reproductive health to its natural state.
For women experiencing moderate to severe symptoms, our specialists often recommends a myomectomy, a surgical procedure aimed at removing uterine fibroids while preserving the healthy tissue of the uterus.
Various techniques can be employed during a myomectomy, and we specializes in two minimally invasive approaches: the robotic surgical system and laparoscopy. These advanced methods offer shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and fewer surgical complications. In more severe cases, an open surgery may be necessary to ensure the complete removal of troublesome fibroids.
We carefully evaluates each patient’s condition to determine the most suitable surgical method. Our specialists take the time to discuss the procedure in detail, addressing post-operative rehabilitation protocols to ensure comprehensive understanding and patient comfort.
Sterilization/ Salpingectomy
In the realm of surgical procedures, a salpingectomy involves the removal of one or both of your fallopian tubes. These intricate structures serve as the passage for the egg to travel from the ovaries to the uterus during the process of conception. Positioned atop and on either side of your uterus, the fallopian tubes resemble a set of delicate horns.
Should the need arise to remove a single fallopian tube, the procedure is known as a unilateral salpingectomy. Conversely, if both fallopian tubes necessitate removal, it is referred to as a bilateral salpingectomy.
Types of Salpingectomy
When it comes to salpingectomy, there are several options available depending on your specific circumstances. The two main types are as follows:
- Unilateral Salpingectomy: In this procedure, only one of your fallopian tubes is removed. This means that you still retain the possibility of becoming pregnant since you have a functioning fallopian tube remaining.
- Bilateral Salpingectomy: This type involves the removal of both fallopian tubes. Naturally conceiving a child is no longer possible, but if you desire to become pregnant, you may explore alternative methods such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) while retaining your uterus.
It’s worth noting that a salpingectomy can involve either the partial removal (partial salpingectomy) or complete removal (total salpingectomy) of the fallopian tube. When the objective is sterilization, either a partial or total bilateral salpingectomy is considered an acceptable approach. However, in cases where the surgery is necessitated by a medical condition, it is typically recommended to remove the entire fallopian tube.
If you have a specific condition or want to lower your risk of ovarian cancer, our specialists at Lewisville Women’s Care might suggest a salpingectomy. Rest assured, this surgical procedure is considered safe and generally has favorable outcomes. It’s important to address any concerns you may have with us, as we can provide detailed information about the procedure and guide you through what to expect during the recovery phase.
Tubal Cystectomies
Lewisville Women’s Care provides the best treatment options for various gynecological conditions, including tubal cystectomies. With the team of highly skilled gynecologists and advanced surgical techniques, we offers comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
A tubal cystectomy is typically performed to address a specific type of cyst called a hydrosalpinx, which is a cyst filled with fluid. Hydrosalpinx can occur when the fallopian tube becomes blocked or damaged, leading to the accumulation of fluid. This condition can be associated with fertility problems, as it may prevent the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.
During a tubal cystectomy, our surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen and accesses the fallopian tube containing the cyst. The cyst is then carefully removed, and the fallopian tube is usually repaired or reconstructed if necessary. The procedure can be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy, where small instruments and a camera are inserted through small incisions.
Tubal cystectomy is typically recommended for women who experience symptoms related to the cyst, such as chronic pelvic pain or infertility. Removing the cyst can help alleviate symptoms and improve the chances of natural conception or success with assisted reproductive techniques.
At Lewisville Women’s Care we provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. The medical team offers guidance and support throughout the entire treatment process, addressing any concerns and ensuring the patient’s well-being.

Surgery for Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy occurs in a location where it is not supposed to be, with the most common occurrence being in the fallopian tube. However, instances of such pregnancies have been reported in other areas such as the ovary, bowel, and even the aorta. Unfortunately, this type of pregnancy cannot naturally migrate to its proper location, the uterus, which necessitates appropriate medical intervention by a doctor to prevent potential harm to the patient.
Diagnosis and treatment
Ultrasound can sometimes aid in diagnosing ectopic pregnancies, although the diagnosis may not be definitive. If there are concerns based on ultrasound results, blood work, and the patient’s symptoms, the doctor may still choose to treat the patient.
If an ectopic pregnancy is detected early, medication such as methotrexate can be prescribed to resolve the pregnancy. Methotrexate is administered through an intramuscular injection by a nurse. In many cases, a single dose is sufficient, but occasionally a second dose may be required.
Blood work will be monitored to ensure that the pregnancy has been appropriately treated. The earlier the pregnancy is discovered, the higher the chances of successful resolution through medical intervention.
If the pregnancy is detected later or if methotrexate is not effective, surgery is performed to remove the pregnancy from the fallopian tube. In some instances, it may be necessary to remove the fallopian tube along with the pregnancy, while in other cases, the ectopic pregnancy may resolve itself, allowing the fallopian tube to remain intact.

The development of ovarian cysts is commonly associated with the menstrual cycle. These cysts can manifest in various types, such as dermoid, cystadenomas, and endometriomas.

Several factors contribute to the risk of developing ovarian cysts, including hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, severe pelvic infection, and endometriosis.
