What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is an advanced surgical process undertaken to determine the cause of infertility. In this procedure, a tiny telescopic instrument called a laparoscope bearing a small camera and light is penetrated inside your body. The process is carried out to check on the functionality of your lower abdomen, especially your pelvic cavity.

Laparoscopy Treatment: How It's Performed

Here are some quick pointers on Laparoscopy to keep in mind:

Laparoscopy, when used to treat infertility, is a procedure bearing minor invasion.
Minor invasions that are about 0.5 cm to 1 cm are made on the belly button so that the laparoscope could pass through.
The process is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
If any problems have been detected, then the surgeon might transfer small surgical tools under guidance of the laparoscope to treat the issues,if there is prior agreement for the same.
Your abdomen is usually inflated using carbon dioxide gas so that the other organs could easily be shifted to make more room near the abdominal wall.
After the Surgery has successfully been performed, the small incisions are closed with the help of stitches.
You may be required to get hospitalized for a couple of days before you get discharged from the hospital. Diagnostic Laparoscopy isn’t a major surgery requiring bed rest for an extended period.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic Surgery involves examining and alternating the errs that are found in the pelvic cavity. This is done by passing minor surgical instruments through another small incision. For example, if there is pathology detected in the reproductive organ/s, they could be removed through Laparoscopic Surgery.

Common Issues Diagnosed with Laparoscopy Treatment

Laparoscopy is used to detect the following suspected cases of infertility:

Medical Conditions Treated Through Laparoscopy Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery is performed to remove cysts and tumours found in the ovaries and uterus.
Myomectomy (which involves removing fibroids) and Hysterectomy (which consists of removing the uterus) can also be carried out through laparoscopic Surgery.
Investigation of the fallopian tubes for fertility as well as their sterilization is done through Laparoscopy. Moreover, it can also perform Tubo-Tubal Anastomosis where a blocked fallopian tube is rechanneled.
Ectopic Pregnancy and Uterine Anomalies are also detected and diagnosed with the help of Laparoscopic instruments.
