Our Process

When is Laparoscopy Recommended?

Laparoscopy may be recommended for various diagnostic and treatment purposes, including:

Diagnosing and treating infertility

Laparoscopy can help identify and address issues such as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and adhesions that may be contributing to infertility.

Evaluating and treating endometriosis

This procedure allows for the visualization and removal of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which can help reduce pain and improve fertility.

Removing ovarian cysts and fibroids

Laparoscopy can be used to remove cysts and fibroids while preserving the ovaries and uterus.

Diagnosing unexplained pelvic pain

Laparoscopy provides a direct view of the pelvic organs, helping to identify the cause of chronic pelvic pain.

How Does Laparoscopy Work?

The laparoscopic procedure involves the following steps:

Preparation

Before the procedure, you will undergo a preoperative assessment, including blood tests and imaging studies. You may also be given specific instructions regarding fasting and medication.

Anesthesia

Laparoscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

Procedure

A small incision is made near the navel, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create space for the surgeon to view and operate on the internal organs.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The surgeon uses the laparoscope to examine the pelvic organs and, if necessary, performs the required surgical procedures, such as removing cysts, fibroids, or endometrial tissue, or treating blocked fallopian tubes.

Recovery

After the procedure, the instruments are removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures. You will be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia and can usually go home the same day.
