LAPAROSCOPIC
Now you will be worrying about what is Laparoscopy? It is a technology where we put tiny cuts in your tummy to insert instruments mainly a telescope to see inside your abdomen and diagnose your actual problem. Laparoscopic surgery is mainly used to address a woman’s health problems such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, removal of the uterus in case of menstrual problems or maybe sometimes cancer, in diagnosis and treatment of tubal disease in case of infertility and also the management of ectopic pregnancy and the list goes on.
People usually think that this is risky and costly but if we compare it with open surgery it is much safer and the patient recovery is really fast which recovers the cost.

With all these benefits it is really advisable to choose laparoscopic surgery over open surgery.
What is Gynecological Laparoscopy?
Gynecological Laparoscopy is a simple surgical procedure carried out by surgeons or gynecologists to examine a woman’s reproductive organs without resorting to conventional surgical procedures.
What is the procedure of Laparoscopy?
It is performed using a laparoscope, which is a narrow and slim tube that performs functions similar to that of a telescope. The laparoscope is passed through a small incision created in the abdomen of the patient. It provides a clear close-up view of the outside of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs that are situated nearby.
Why laparoscopy is performed?
Laparoscopy is performed due to the following factors:
• Determine the cause of pain in the pelvic and abdominal regions

• Removal of uterus and fibroids
What situations can laparoscopy be used to diagnose and treat?
• Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis
• Removing scar tissues that can develop in the pelvic area because of infections, inflammatory disease, or endometriosis

Is Laparoscopy useful these days?
In today’s gynecological practice, laparoscopy is commonly recommended by doctors as it is a minimally invasive procedure, regardless of whether it is used for diagnostic reasons or as a surgical solution. Laparoscopy offers an effective way of exploring medical conditions such as infertility or pain in the abdominal area and also for carrying out major surgeries like removal of the uterus or ovarian cysts through its minimally invasive approach.
The gynecologist can use the tools to explore and get a direct view of the pelvis and peritoneal cavity without putting the patient through the stress and inconvenience of standard surgical methods.
While diagnosing a gynecological condition, such as endometriosis, laparoscopy is the best way of arriving at a conclusion because of the direct view it offers. Laparoscopic procedures are increasingly being used in conditions such as myomectomy, adnexal surgery, tubal ligation, hysterectomy, and also in some cases of gynecological cancer.
How Many types of Surgeries can be performed in Laparoscopy?
• Ovarian cyst Removal
• Tubal ligation, which is surgical contraception
• Hysterectomy
