The evolution of office-based Gynecologic Surgery (OBGS): A technological and clinical perspective
Author(s): Prakash R Ghogale
Abstract: Office-Based Gynecologic Surgery (OBGS) has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to transform the delivery of gynecologic care. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the technological advancements, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction associated with OBGS. The study analyzes the benefits of OBGS, including reduced recovery times, lower complication rates, improved patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness, when compared to traditional hospital-based procedures. Key technologies such as fiber-optic cameras, advanced minimally invasive surgical tools, and local anesthesia techniques have made it possible to perform complex gynecologic procedures, such as diagnostic hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation, and myomectomy, safely in an outpatient setting. A review of recent literature highlights that OBGS procedures are associated with a reduction in complications, shorter recovery periods, and improved cosmetic and functional outcomes. Additionally, OBGS is shown to be more cost-effective, significantly lowering healthcare expenses due to the decreased need for hospital admissions and anesthesia costs. However, challenges remain in the widespread adoption of OBGS, including the need for specialized facilities, proper training, and patient selection. The findings suggest that while OBGS offers substantial benefits, further advancements in technology, physician training, and patient screening are required to ensure its broader implementation. This review concludes that OBGS is a promising alternative to hospital-based gynecologic surgeries, with the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
