What type of procedures does gynecological surgery include?

Gynecological surgery specifically encompasses surgical procedures that focus on the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. This includes a multitude of procedures such as hysterectomies, oophorectomies, and laparoscopic surgeries for conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. The emphasis is on addressing health issues that affect women's reproductive health and related concerns.

In contrast, surgeries on male reproductive organs would fall under urology or male healthcare, not gynecology, thus distinguishing the focus of gynecological surgery. Similarly, procedures aimed at correcting urinary problems or surgeries related to the heart and chest belong to different medical specialties—urology and cardiothoracic surgery, respectively—further clarifying the defined scope of gynecological surgery as being exclusively related to female reproductive health.
