What is a Laparoscopy The doctor can observe and perform a variety of gynecology services for women’s reproductive organs (the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes). Since the surgeon uses instruments that fit into a narrow tube called a cannula, only a small incision is necessary. When Laparoscopy Used Laparoscopy is used in the following surgical situations: Endometriosis diagnosis and treatment Symptomatic ovarian cyst Hysterectomy Exploratory surgery for possible infertility causes Ectopic pregnancy Pelvic pain Tubal ligation We use newer devices such as NovaSure, Hydrothermal Ablation and Thermachoice® to treat the above conditions. Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery Patient’s potential benefits include less scarring, significantly less pain, reduced blood loss, fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay, a faster return to normal daily activities and the possibility of a better clinical outcome. Less risk Less pain Smaller scar Faster Recovery Performing surgery laparoscopically also reduces the chance of forming internal scar tissue (adhesions) after surgery. In some people, these adhesions can cause pain, and in 1-3% of people, may lead to intestinal obstruction at some point in their lives. Fewer adhesions are formed after laparoscopic surgery because no sponges or retractors are needed, and the internal tissues are not dried by exposure to room air. From the perspective of the surgeon, many types of surgery are actually easier to do laparoscopically because the internal areas of interest are magnified and shown on a large TV screen.
