Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why minimally-invasive gynaecological surgery sometimes disappoints.

MIGS disappoints when surgeons attempt minimally-invasive for cases that warrant open, or when the wrong indication leads to underwhelming results.

Not every case is suited to a minimally-invasive approach. Very large fibroid uteri, dense adhesions, and certain oncologic situations may have better outcomes with open surgery. Surgeons forcing MIGS on cases that warrant open sometimes have higher complication rates or convert mid-procedure.

The right approach is chosen at consultation based on your specific anatomy and indication — not on marketing preference.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

A Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Stop blood thinners 7–10 days before where medically safe; stop smoking; pre-op labs and medical clearance.

iii.

The minimally-invasive procedure

Under general anaesthesia, Dr. Rockhead performs the indicated procedure using laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, or vaginal approach. Small incisions (5–10 mm) with a camera and instruments, or natural-orifice access, replace the larger incision of open surgery.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Wound care for small incisions; shoulder-tip pain from gas for 1–3 days; prescribed analgesics. Avoid heavy lifting and intercourse for 2–6 weeks depending on procedure. Wound check at 1–2 weeks; healing review at 6 weeks; indication-specific follow-up beyond that.

The procedure itself.

What it isMinimally-invasive gynaecological surgery (MIGS) covers laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and vaginal approaches to procedures that historically required open abdominal surgery. The shared features are small incisions, faster recovery, and reduced inpatient stay.
How long it's been aroundModern MIGS has been the standard approach since the 1990s. The transition from open to minimally-invasive has been one of the most consequential changes in gynaecological surgery.
What we treat with itMost benign gynaecological surgery indications: hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, salpingectomy, adhesiolysis, endometriosis excision, sacrocolpopexy for prolapse.

Is Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery right for you

Who gets the most out of Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery at Oshun.

Minimally-Invasive Gynaecological Surgery isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy

Hysterectomy for benign indications

Most benign hysterectomy indications are now performed laparoscopically with shorter recovery.

Laparoscopic myomectomy

Fertility-preserving fibroid surgery

Most uterus-preserving fibroid surgery can be done laparoscopically when fibroid burden allows.

Hysteroscopic procedures

Polyp/fibroid/septum removal through cervix

Cavity-based procedures done hysteroscopically without abdominal incision.

Excisional surgery via laparoscopy is standard.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

Is minimally-invasive always better than open?
Usually, but not always. Some cases have better outcomes with open. The right approach is chosen at consultation.
How big are the incisions?
Typically 5–10 mm for laparoscopic ports. Hysteroscopic cases have no abdominal incisions.
How long is recovery?
1–3 weeks off work for most laparoscopic gynaecological procedures.
Can complex cases be done minimally-invasively?
Many can be, with the right surgeon. Some genuinely warrant open. Dr. Rockhead specifies.
What's the difference between laparoscopic and robotic?
Both are minimally-invasive. Robotic uses a robotic platform; laparoscopic uses direct instruments. Outcomes are similar for most indications.
Are there risks?
Bleeding, infection, injury to bowel/bladder/blood vessels (rare), conversion to open if needed, anaesthetic complications.
Will I have visible scars?
Small (5–10 mm) scars at port sites usually fade to nearly invisible marks.
Is MIGS covered by insurance?
Yes — typically covered for documented indications.
