It’s high time a doctor got the appreciation that they deserved. And more so, the women in the field who practically are lost in the crowd need appreciation. One such doctor who turned around the scene in medicine for women; both as patients and as surgeons at the same time!
This is Dr. Manjula Anagani.

Why you need to know her?

Laparoscopy: Laparoscopy is a medical procedure where a needle size incision is made instead of open surgery reducing scarring and other issues. Two needles sized incisions are made for this type of surgery, one for visibility and one for the procedure.

Why is it revolutionary?
Laparoscopy is a highly male-dominated field for surgeons. All the techniques used were suitable for a male surgeon. The immediate need was to innovate newer techniques, which were ergonomically suitable for women.

Also being a gynecologist, Manjula wanted to make a point that ObGyn is not all about deliveries and hysterectomies. She innovated procedures in laparoscopy that would pave way for easier surgeries for women surgeons, also making it safer for women patients.

Guess how many surgeries she’s already done?
10,000 laparoscopic surgeries and she says there is scope for so much more!
