The pathology represents tissue damage, which in most cases occurs as a result of childbirth, and sometimes as a result of erroneous actions by a surgeon during procedures unrelated to childbirth. By contacting our medical center, you undergo operational diagnostics on modern equipment. After determining the degree and nature of the traumatic injury, the doctors plan the course of the operation.
At Top Ichilov, doctors with high qualifications in gynecological surgery work. They suture such tears using the latest samples of suture material through minimally invasive reconstructive techniques. After such operations, the likelihood of scar formation is minimal, which helps to exclude complications such as fertility issues and infections.
Treatment of Cervical Tear in Israeli Clinics — Current Methods
Surgical treatment of traumatic injuries of this kind may be required in several cases. Usually, the trauma occurs as a result of childbirth, with large fetal sizes and other discrepancies between the elasticity of the cervical tissues and the pressure applied to them. Statistically, artificial stimulation of labor is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of cervical tear, while cervical banding is associated with an elevenfold increase in the risk of its trauma.
Surgical treatment is not always required — if the length of the tear is small, it is not considered a complication of childbirth. However, in most cases, the length of the tear exceeds 2 cm. Additionally, the trauma may extend to other organs, be accompanied by intense bleeding, and be complicated by various infections. In such cases, surgical suturing of the wound is performed — if the edges of the tear are relatively uniform, they are sewn together. If the edges are jagged, the surgeon may remove part of the tissue to align the edges, making the healing process smoother.
Typically, a minimally invasive transvaginal approach is used — all instruments are inserted through the vagina. The tear is sutured starting from the upper corner of the wound. Sutures are applied in two layers to ensure a tight connection between the mucosal and muscular structures. Catgut is used as suture material — this material completely dissolves within one to two weeks after the intervention.
If necessary, a blood transfusion is performed, and the patient is prescribed courses of antibiotics or other procedures to minimize the risk of complications.
If a relatively large tear remains untouched or is sutured using incorrect surgical techniques, scar deformation of the cervix may later occur, leading to a number of negative consequences, including fertility problems, disruption of the barrier function of the cervical mucosa, and infections of the birth canal.
Treatment of cervical scars in Israel is performed using several methods — with excisional and destructive approaches. This may involve resection of the pathologically altered tissue area with removal of the external os. Such operations include loop, knife, electrosurgical, or laser conization. Destructive methods rely on various types of electrocoagulation or laser ablation. Practice shows that the most optimal effect with a lower risk of complications is observed when using a carbon dioxide laser.
Diagnostics
Examinations in Israeli clinics are conducted in a timely manner. Typically, in cases that do not require high urgency, it takes three to four days. If there is significant bleeding, diagnostics are conducted as quickly as possible, and the patient undergoes surgery urgently.
Consultation
On the first day, the patient who does not require urgent hospitalization has the first consultation with a gynecologist. The doctor studies the medical history and refers the woman for a series of diagnostic procedures.
Investigations
Typically, this type of traumatic injury is identified during colposcopy. An optical device with a light source is inserted into the vagina, allowing examination of the vaginal entrance and damaged areas of the cervix. Endoscopic diagnostics may also be performed. An endoscope is a long flexible tube that allows for a more detailed examination of internal structures. If necessary, visual diagnostic methods may be used — ultrasound, computed tomography.
Consultation
A medical consultation is convened on the final day of diagnostics, consisting of obstetricians, gynecologists, surgeons, and doctors of other specialties who collectively select the optimal treatment method. Each patient in Israeli clinics has a set of rights, and one of these rights is complete transparency of information regarding the diagnosis and selected types of treatment. Therefore, the woman may also be present at the consultation meeting.
Cost of Treatment for Cervical Tear in Israel
The cost of procedures in Israeli clinics is significantly lower than in medical centers in the United States or Western European countries. In many cases, European patients can save up to 40-45% of their personal budget in Israeli clinics.
Advantages of Treatment at Top Ichilov Clinic
- The clinic employs doctors with extensive experience in performing all types of surgeries on the female reproductive system. On average, the specialist's experience is over 10 years of clinical practice. Many gynecologists from Top Ichilov are well-known in Europe and the United States.
- Examinations are conducted in a timely manner using the most modern and precise equipment. If necessary, the patient undergoes emergency diagnostics and is referred for treatment on the same day of contacting the clinic.
- Effective types of surgical operations are performed to treat tears, allowing for the cessation of bleeding, restoration of organ integrity, and prevention of scar formation. If a patient with cervical scars comes to the clinic, they are removed using a wide range of destructive and ablative techniques (conization, laser ablation).
- During the examination and treatment, the woman receives a personal curator — a staff member from the hospital's international department responsible for coordinating doctors, translating medical documents, and assisting with everyday issues.
