Gynaecologic Laparoscopy

Gynecologic laparoscopy

Gynecologic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a slender, illuminated tube (laparoscope) inserted through a small incision to diagnose and treat conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids. This technique provides a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, resulting in reduced scarring and faster recovery.

What is Gynecologic laparoscopy Surgery

Gynecologic laparoscopy, or keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure involving small abdominal incisions to address conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic issues such as urinary incontinence or uterine prolapse. It can also be used for surgeries like laparoscopic hysterectomy. This technique offers a safer alternative to traditional open surgery, resulting in fewer complications, less scarring, and faster recovery. Additionally, it is effective for procedures such as ovarian cyst removal, tubal ligation, and hysterectomy.

Reasons for gynecologic laparoscopy include:

•    Diagnosis, treatment, or both

•    Unexplained pelvic pain

•    Unexplained infertility

•    History of pelvic infection

Diagnosed Conditions:

•    Endometriosis

•    Uterine fibroids

•    Ovarian cysts or tumors

•    Ectopic pregnancy

•    Pelvic abscess (pus accumulation)

•    Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)

•    Infertility

•    Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

•    Reproductive cancers

Procedure:

Laparoscopy is typically done under general anesthesia, starting with a small incision in the navel to insert a laparoscope, a tube with a camera that projects images onto a screen. If surgery is required, additional small incisions are made to insert surgical instruments. The procedure usually lasts between 30 minutes to an hour for diagnosis, and longer if treatment is needed. In some cases, robotic arms are employed to enhance precision during the surgery.

Treatment Procedures:

•    Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)

•    Removal of ovaries

•    Removal of ovarian cysts

•    Removal of fibroids

•    Blocking blood flow to fibroids

•    Endometrial tissue ablation (treatment for endometriosis)

•    Adhesion removal

•    Reversal of tubal ligation (contraceptive surgery)

•    Burch procedure for urinary incontinence

•    Vault suspension for uterine prolapse treatment

Risks of Laparoscopy:

•    Skin irritation

•    Bladder infection

•    Rare serious complications (Damage to abdominal blood vessels, bladder, bowel, uterus, or other pelvic structures, Nerve damage, Allergic reactions, Adhesions, Blood clots and Difficulty urinating)

Benefits

Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open abdominal surgery, including reduced pain, fewer complications, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Many patients can return home the same day or the following morning.
