2. We offer various surgical services which include-:
- Colposcopy & Cervical Biopsy – Cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus located at the top of vagina. Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy both are the diagnostic procedures, to check for any significant abnormalities of the cervix (pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions). Colposcopy is the procedure to examine magnified view of cervix and tissues of vagina and vulva whereas in cervical biopsy, small amount of tissue is removed from cervix for biopsy.

This procedure is performed for treatment of an incomplete miscarriage or to check for abnormal cells in women with irregular vaginal bleeding. It is performed under a short anaesthesia and patients get discharged home on the same day.
