Gynecologic Laparoscopy

Gynecologic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure used to diagnose and treat various gynecologic disorders. It involves the insertion of a laparoscope, a thin tube-like instrument with a camera and light attached to it, into the pelvic and abdominal cavities to visualize internal organs. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced to expand the cavity and provide a clear view for the surgeon.

Laparoscopy is useful in diagnosing and treating chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroid tumors, infertility, and ovarian cysts. Many procedures that were previously performed through large abdominal incisions are now performed laparoscopically.

Recovery time is significantly faster with laparoscopic surgery than with traditional open surgery because there is no large abdominal incision. Even after hysterectomy procedures, most women are back to their normal activities within a few weeks.

Some of the laparoscopic procedures include:

Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus with or without the cervix)
Myomectomy (removal of fibroids)
Sterilization (tubal ligation)
Tubal reanastomosis
Removal of ovarian, cysts
Endometriosis treatment
