Surgical Care | Dr Puvana Raman

Advanced surgical care with compassion, right here in the South West.

Minimally invasive gynaecological surgery (MIGS) offers a safer, more effective alternative to traditional open procedures. Without the need for a large abdominal incision, patients often experience less pain, fewer complications, and a faster recovery. Many return home the same day and resume everyday activities sooner.

As a MIGS specialist, Dr Raman combines advanced surgical expertise with a compassionate, patient-centred approach. She takes the time to listen, clearly explain your options, and guide you through each step with confidence and care.

If you are considering surgery for endometriosis, fibroids or pelvic pain, a confidential consultation with Dr Raman can help you understand whether a minimally invasive approach is right for you.

Start your recovery closer to home, with specialist care you can trust.
