Recognizing that women’s health is important and unique to every woman, Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda now offers total comprehensive care for women which  ranges from uterine fibroids to endometriosis and complications that could impact sterility, by offering the latest minimally invasive options for such conditions.

Focused on symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, symptomatic fibroids and large ovarian cysts, the hospital is building upon the Hemas trust and recognition in academic and clinical expertise to offer specialized treatment with faster recovery times and safer outcomes.

Visiting Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist of Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda Dr Dhammika Silva, Consultant at the Kalubowila Teaching Hospital too has been performing these minimally invasive specialized procedures for many years. He, together with the skilled and specially trained team of doctors, clinicians and nurses ensure that the laparoscopic procedures are with minimal incisions and enable patients’ faster recovery period, shorter stays in hospital, less pain and least amount of scarring, which is aesthetically more suited for women. Hemas Hospital has invested in state of the art specialized equipment to manage such procedures.

“As a premier group of hospitals, we are committed to providing women with the highest quality and most advanced healthcare for all stages of their lives from adolescence through menopause and beyond” explained Dr Chamila Ariyananda, General Manager of Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda.

“Nothing is more important to us than a patient’s well being and we strive always to provide excellent and advanced care and service with compassion, quality and service” she emphasized.

Minimally invasive or laparoscopy at Hemas Hospitals is performed for a vast range of women’s health conditions including uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, ovarian cysts, pelvic organ prolapsed etc, keeping in mind that the minimally invasive or laparoscopic approach is a far more effective alternative to traditional open surgery. “A vast number of such surgeries have been carried out very successfully at our hospital” revealed Dr Ariyananda.

Dr. Dhammika Silva explained that before the advent of laparoscopic surgery, surgeons needed to make large incisions on the abdomen to perform surgeries. Laparoscopy has enabled them to perform complicated surgeries using small incisions – a more aesthetically pleasing option as well, as it significantly reduces scarring. “Laparoscopy is popular amongst the general public as a safe procedure for surgeries relating to abdominal, pelvic region and reproductive organs. Since the surgical tools used in laparoscopic surgeries are delicate and complex, the surgeon’s experience and skills play a major role in the success.”

Now with international accreditation from the Australian Council of Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI) Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda pledges safe patient care with excellent clinical outcomes as per accreditation standards and guidelines. These safe practices and the state of the art facilities along with the team of expert Consultant doctors, ensure that patients receive outstanding clinical care and the multi-chain emerges as a leader in healthcare services.
