The Development of Gynaecological Endoscopy Team

The Gynaecological Endoscopy Surgery was first introduced to the department in 1988.  It is a new era of changing conventional surgery to minimally invasive surgery with the help from the development of the latest technology. Since then, our team has been pursing advanced technique and research work in the aspects of gynaecological endoscopy and today we are grateful to share our development and achievement.
