The department of
obstetrics & gynaecology was started at the inauguration of the
hospital by Late Shri. J.L. Nehru in 1954. Even during that period 32 beds
were reserved for poor patients for free service of maternity and

Srivastava, Consultant, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology has been
awarded second prize for her presentation “Abnormal Mammography in
Perimenopausal & Post menopausal Women” by the Indian Menopause Society. |
Over the last 5 decades
and more since 1974 onwards when the management was taken over by the
consultants the department has made tremendous progress and has now come
up as a premier tertiary care center in the country. This has been
possible through the farsightedness, dedication and simultaneous
development of the other specialties in the hospital. It has a unique
distinction of starting the following subspecialties:
Adolescent
clinic
Gynae Oncology clinic
High risk pregnancy clinic
Family
planning clinic
Mature women clinic
Uro-Gynaecology clinic
The consultant staff
includes eminent academicians and surgeons of repute.
Gynaecological Laparoscopic / Hysteroscopic surgery.
There is an ongoing programme of gynae endoscopic surgery at Sir Ganga
Ram Hospital . Operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy is being routinely
carried out. Procedures being carried out in operative laparoscopy include
fertility enhancing laparoscopic surgery like laparoscopic salpingostomy
(opening of blocked tube mouth), neosalpingostomy (creating new tubal
opening), tubal anastomosis, adhesiolysis. Besides these, laparoscopic
hysterectomy (removal of diseased uterus), myomectomy (removal of
fibroids), cystectomy (removal of cyst), alongwith laparoscopic management
of ectopic pregnancy are being routinely performed.
In the field of Hysteroscopy, besides carrying out diagnostic
hysteroscopy for ascertaining the cause of irregular bleeding, corrective
procedures likein the resection of septum of the uterus, removal of
adhesions, removal of polyps, tubal catheterisation for blocked tubes (in
infertility cases), TCRE (Trans cervical resection of endometrium) for
heavy period are being performed routinely. The advanced technique of
operative microhysteroscopy for these procedures is being frequently used
here. In the last one year 412 operative laparoscopies and hysteroscopies
were carried out in this unit . Out of which 228 were level - III &
level IV.
In
Vitro fertilization (IVF)
The center for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and human
reproduction was established at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 1991 which is a
leading multispecialty health care provider of India. The center completed
its tenth anniversary on 21st September 2001 and has entered a new decade
as the largest integrated provider of infertility services in Northern
India. This unit now staffs more than 10 medical and paramedical workers including 4
clinicians and 2 full time embryologists. The dedicated team of this unit
has endeavored to keep pace with the advancements in the field of IVF so
as to provide the patients with best possible treatment.
Today apart from conventional IVF we are also
undertaking intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and laser assisted
ICSI with ejaculated sperms
as well as testicular sperms obtained after testicular sperm extraction (TESE),
testicular sperm aspiration (TESA), percutaneous epididymal sperm
aspiration (PESA).
Cryopreservation of embryos is done for about 25% of
oocyte pickup cycles with very promising outcome. In patients with ovarian
failure IVF with donor oocytes is also being done. In patients with absent
/ severely damaged uterus IVF with surrogacy is being performed.
To ensure a high pregnancy rate a great deal of individualized care,
backed by adequate expertise, experience and dedication is provided by our
unit . Today our results compare well with any other successful center of
the world (35- 40%).
