Discover how Dr. Mohil Patel’s groundbreaking DROPLESS-C vault suturing technique is transforming laparoscopic surgery. Learn how it reduces complications, speeds recovery, and is becoming a global benchmark through training and conferences.
Revolutionizing Laparoscopic Gynecology
Minimally invasive surgery has transformed women’s healthcare, but even advanced procedures like total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) present challenges. One of the most critical steps is vault closure (suturing of the vaginal cuff)—a stage that can affect healing, infection risk, and recovery time.
Enter DROPLESS-C, a trademarked vault suturing technique developed by Dr. Mohil Patel, Gujarat’s leading gynec laparoscopic surgeon. This innovative approach is rapidly becoming a new global standard, offering patients safer outcomes, faster recoveries, and fewer complications.
What is DROPLESS-C Vault Suturing?
DROPLESS-C (short for Dry, Reliable, Optimal, Pressure-Less, Enhanced Suturing with Continuous Closure) is Dr. Patel’s proprietary technique for closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic hysterectomy and similar surgeries. Unlike conventional methods, which may involve excessive cauterization, multiple sutures, or high tissue tension, DROPLESS-C:
- Minimizes tissue trauma
- Reduces intraoperative bleeding
- Decreases risk of vault dehiscence (reopening of the surgical site)
- Provides a watertight, tension-free closure
- Speeds up healing and patient recovery
This technique uses precision suturing and advanced laparoscopic skills to achieve results that improve both safety and patient satisfaction.
How DROPLESS-C Benefits Patients
Dr. Patel’s technique is quickly gaining global recognition because it addresses many post-surgical complications seen with traditional vault closure methods. Its benefits include:
- Lower infection rates due to reduced tissue handling and bleeding
- Shorter hospital stays, with many patients discharged within 24–48 hours
- Faster return to normal activity, often within 1–2 weeks
- Minimal pain and scarring compared to traditional closure
- Lower long-term complications, such as prolapse or suture-related issues
For patients undergoing hysterectomy or other complex gynecological laparoscopic procedures, these improvements translate into better quality of life and peace of mind.
Why Surgeons Worldwide Are Adopting DROPLESS-C
DROPLESS-C isn’t just a technique; it’s becoming a teaching tool and benchmark for laparoscopic gynecology globally. Surgeons are drawn to its:
- Efficiency: Reduces operative time while improving outcomes.
- Reproducibility: Can be taught and mastered with structured training.
- Versatility: Applicable in both standard and complex hysterectomy cases.
- Patient outcomes: Lower complication rates make it attractive for modern surgical practices.
Training & Global Outreach
To ensure this technique benefits as many patients as possible, Dr. Mohil Patel is spearheading workshops, masterclasses, and live surgery demonstrations across India and abroad. His plans include:
- Hands-on training sessions at major conferences like AICOG, YUVA FOGSI, and GALOP.
- International surgical training camps for gynecologists seeking to upgrade their laparoscopic skills.
- Online modules and webinars, allowing surgeons worldwide to learn the DROPLESS-C approach.
- Collaborations with academic institutions to integrate the method into fellowship programs.
By sharing DROPLESS-C openly, Dr. Patel is ensuring that future generations of surgeons can deliver safer, faster, and more patient-friendly laparoscopic care.
Case Example: DROPLESS-C in Action
A 42-year-old patient with adenomyosis and large fibroids underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy at Ankur Maternity Home & Clinic. Using DROPLESS-C vault suturing:
- Surgical time was reduced by 20%, compared to standard methods.
- Blood loss was minimal, eliminating the need for transfusion.
- The patient was discharged within 36 hours, resuming light activity in 5 days.
- No complications occurred during recovery, and the cosmetic result was flawless.
This case, among many others, showcases why DROPLESS-C is setting a new benchmark in laparoscopic surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What makes DROPLESS-C different from standard vault closure?
It’s designed to minimize tissue trauma, bleeding, and tension, leading to safer, faster healing compared to conventional techniques.
2. Can DROPLESS-C be used in all laparoscopic hysterectomies?
Yes, it’s adaptable for routine and complex cases, including those with large uteri or previous surgeries.
3. Does DROPLESS-C reduce recovery time?
Absolutely. Most patients resume normal activities 1–2 weeks post-surgery, compared to 4–6 weeks with traditional methods.
4. Is this technique widely available?
Currently, it’s primarily performed by Dr. Mohil Patel and trained surgeons, but global training programs are rapidly expanding.
5. Can other surgeons learn DROPLESS-C?
Yes. Dr. Patel offers workshops, live surgical training, and conference sessions for surgeons worldwide.
6. Where can patients access DROPLESS-C surgeries?
At Ankur Maternity Home & Clinic, Ahmedabad, and through partner hospitals where Dr. Patel trains surgeons.
