Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy

Laparoscopy, also known as “keyhole surgery,” is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine the organs inside the abdomen or pelvis. It involves making a small incision through which a laparoscope (a thin, lighted camera) is inserted, allowing the surgeon to view internal organs on a monitor and perform necessary surgical procedures without the need for large incisions.
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to inspect the inside of the uterus (womb) using a thin, lighted telescope-like device called a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the vagina and cervix.

Common Conditions Diagnosed & Treated by Hysteroscopy:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding

  • Uterine polyps and fibroids

  • Intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)

  • Septate uterus (congenital uterine malformation)

  • Infertility and miscarriage evaluation

  • Removal of retained products after miscarriage or childbirth

Common Conditions Diagnosed & Treated by Laparoscopy:

  • Endometriosis

  • Ovarian cysts

  • Ectopic pregnancy

  • Pelvic adhesions

  • Uterine fibroids

  • Infertility evaluation

  • Removal of the appendix or gallbladder

  • Hernia repair

Symptoms that Might Require Laparoscopy or Hysteroscopy

If you experience any of the following, your doctor may recommend Laparoscopy or Hysteroscopy:

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Painful menstrual periods or heavy bleeding

  • Irregular menstrual cycles

  • Frequent miscarriages

  • Ovarian cysts detected via ultrasound

  • Unexplained abdominal pain or bloating

  • Suspected fibroids or polyps

Precautions & Prevention

While some gynecological or abdominal issues cannot be entirely prevented, early detection and timely medical consultation can prevent complications. Regular health check-ups, pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and reporting unusual symptoms early can lead to quicker diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment options like Laparoscopy or Hysteroscopy — reducing the need for open surgery.

Advantages & Benefits of Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy

✅ Minimally Invasive:
Small incisions (or none, in hysteroscopy) mean less trauma to the body.

✅ Faster Recovery Time:
Most patients recover quicker compared to traditional open surgery, often returning to normal activities within a few days.

✅ Reduced Pain and Discomfort:
Smaller wounds mean less post-operative pain.

✅ Lower Risk of Infection:
Minimized exposure of internal tissues reduces the chance of infection.

✅ Shorter Hospital Stay:
Most procedures are done as daycare or require minimal hospitalization.

✅ Improved Diagnostic Accuracy:
Direct visualization offers precise diagnosis compared to imaging alone.

✅ Fertility-Friendly Approach:
Minimally invasive correction of reproductive system issues enhances fertility without compromising organ function.
