Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach to treating gynecological conditions. This technique uses small incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in less pain, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring.

We specialize in a variety of laparoscopic procedures for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Here’s an overview of the services we offer

Diagnostic Laparoscopy (Pelvic Keyhole Surgery)

This is often the first step when patients experience unexplained pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or infertility. During this minimally invasive procedure, we can

  • Diagnose conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, or ectopic pregnancy.

  • Take biopsies to rule out cancer or other diseases.
  • Inspect the reproductive organs for abnormalities.

Benefits: Quick diagnosis with minimal recovery time.

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure, and infertility. Our laparoscopic approach allows us to remove fibroids while preserving your uterus, which is ideal for women who wish to maintain fertility.

  • Minimally invasive removal of fibroids without the need for open surgery.

  • Reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can cause pelvic pain, bloating, or pressure. Laparoscopic cystectomy allows for

  • Precise removal of cysts while preserving ovarian function.
  • Less risk of complications and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for both diagnosing and treating endometriosis.

  • Removal or destruction of endometrial implants using advanced techniques like laser or electrocautery.

  • Relief from chronic pelvic pain and improved chances of conception.

For women with conditions like severe fibroids, chronic pelvic pain, or cancer, a laparoscopic hysterectomy may be recommended. This procedure allows for the removal of the uterus with minimal recovery time.

  • Less invasive than traditional abdominal hysterectomy.
  • Shorter hospital stay and faster return to daily life.

Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a permanent form of birth control where the fallopian tubes are sealed to prevent pregnancy.

  • Quick outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort.
  • Highly effective and permanent.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. This is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment.

  • Minimally invasive surgery to safely remove the ectopic pregnancy.

  • Preservation of reproductive health with less risk of complications.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery

Faster Recovery

Most patients resume daily activities within 1-2 weeks.

Reduced Hospital Stay

Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Less Pain & Scarring

Small incisions mean less postoperative pain and minimal scarring.

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery Time

  • Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks, though complex procedures may require more time.
