Laparoscopy

Laparoscopic gynecological surgery, also known as minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, is a surgical approach used to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions using small incisions and specialized instruments. This technique offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including quicker recovery times, reduced pain, and smaller scars.

Laparoscopic gynecological surgery is performed to diagnose and treat a wide range of gynecological conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Endometriosis: To remove abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus.
  • Ovarian Cysts: To remove cysts or tumors from the ovaries.
  • Fibroids: To remove uterine fibroids.
  • Hysterectomy: Partial or total removal of the uterus.
  • Tubal Ligation: A form of permanent contraception.
  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse: To repair weakened pelvic organs.
  • Ectopic Pregnancy: To remove a pregnancy that implants outside the uterus.

Procedure:

In laparoscopic gynecological surgery, the surgeon makes several small incisions (usually less than an inch) in the abdominal wall. A laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source) and other specialized instruments are inserted through these incisions. The surgeon views the internal organs on a monitor and performs the necessary surgical procedures with precision.
