Laparoscopic Surgery

In addition to the aforementioned conditions, laparoscopic surgery is used for tubal ligation and other non-gynecologic procedures.

Laparoscopic procedures, such as diagnostics and surgeries, are effective because they are minimally invasive and highly accurate. Because fine instruments, small incisions, and precise movements are used in laparoscopic surgery, the patient experiences less pain after the operation, scar size very small. Post-operative recovery is quicker and more comfortable.

Types of Laparoscopic Procedure

Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy: This procedure involves the removal of cysts from one or both ovaries. The formation of cysts at some point in a female’s life is quite common. Some cysts go away on their own. At times, they disrupt menstrual cycles or conception, or they cause pain during intercourse or your period. These cysts can be removed through a small incision on the abdomen.
Cysts can be both benign and malignant.

Endometriosis: Endometriosis is characterized by painful, heavy periods and, in many cases, infertility. A small camera is inserted through an incision in the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery to treat endometriosis. To provide a clear view, the abdomen is inflated with gas. After deciding on a treatment method, the surgeon destroys the endometrioma with lasers, electricity, or a freezing process. This is a cyst or endometrial cell that grows outside of the uterus, possibly on the ovary or in the fallopian tubes. Excision of endometriosis refers to the removal of scar tissue and overgrown cells or cysts. Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery allows the surgeon to treat endometriosis with minimal movements and without damaging neighboring healthy tissues. It can be used in conjunction with hormone therapy.

Laparoscopic Surgery for Ectopic Pregnancy: When pregnancy – or, more precisely, embryo implantation – occurs inside the fallopian tube, it is not viable. The fetus will not survive and it can lead to hemorrhage or uterine rupture. It could turn potentially become life-threatening to the woman. When hormones or other medications are ineffective or have failed to treat an ectopic pregnancy, laparoscopic surgery is recommended. A cannula with a tiny camera attached is inserted into the abdomen near or below the navel. After that, the product of conception is removed. In addition, the surgeon attempts to repair or remove the damaged portion of the fallopian tube. This is known as a salpingectomy or a salpingostomy, depending on whether the tube must be removed entirely or repaired in part to stop the rupture and bleeding.

Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy is the surgical repair of an organ that has prolapsed or fallen back down in the pelvis. This surgery is required to keep the bladder, intestines, and sacral promontory functioning normally. It can treat prolapse of the vaginal walls, cervix, or uterus in older women. The surgeon can use this procedure to repair the prolapsed walls of the vaginal vault, vaginal cuff, or vaginal apex. Furthermore, it aims to reconstruct and improve the pelvic region’s natural anatomic support so that all bladder and bowel functions are unaffected. Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy is preferable to abdominal surgery because it is less invasive and allows the patient to recover more quickly.
