Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery

✅ Diagnostic Hysterolaparoscopy

A combined procedure to examine your uterus and pelvic organs using a camera, done under general anesthesia.
Why it’s done:

• Find causes of infertility, pelvic pain, or irregular periods

• Check for fibroids, blockages, or polyps

• Understand reasons for repeated miscarriages
  Recovery: Day-care procedure with minimal downtime.

✅ Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (for PCOS)

A keyhole surgery for women with PCOS who aren’t ovulating with medications. Small punctures are made on the ovaries to improve ovulation.
Why it’s done:

• Boost fertility

• Reduce male hormone levels

• Help regulate periods
  Recovery: Most women go home the same day.

✅ Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

A minimally invasive way to remove the uterus through small cuts. Depending on your condition, the cervix, ovaries, or tubes may also be removed.
Why it’s done:

• Heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, or cancer
  Recovery: Less pain, 1–2 day hospital stay, faster healing.

✅ Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Removes fibroids while keeping the uterus intact—ideal if you wish to retain fertility.
Why it’s done:

• Heavy bleeding, pain, fertility issues, or pelvic pressure
  Recovery: Smaller scars, less pain, and quicker return to routine.

✅ Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Removes cysts from the ovaries without damaging healthy tissue.
Why it’s done:

• Large or painful cysts

• Planning for pregnancy
  Recovery: Discharged within 24 hours; fast healing.

✅ Endometriosis Surgery

Laparoscopy helps remove endometriosis implants causing pain or infertility.
Common symptoms:

• Severe cramps, painful sex, pelvic pain, infertility
  Recovery: Most women resume normal activities in a week.

✅ Tuboplasty

Repairs blocked or damaged fallopian tubes to improve your chances of natural pregnancy.
Why it’s done:

• Restore fertility affected by infections, surgeries, or endometriosis
  Recovery: Depends on damage level and your age.

✅ Recanalization

Reverses tubal ligation for women who want to conceive again.
Consider this if:

• You regret sterilization

• You’re under 40 and healthy
  Note: IVF is a good backup if recanalization isn’t suitable.

⚠️ Ectopic Pregnancy Management

This occurs when pregnancy develops outside the uterus—often in a fallopian tube. It’s an emergency.
Symptoms:

• Lower abdominal pain, spotting, dizziness
  Treatment:

• Laparoscopic surgery or medication (early stages)
  Remember: Early treatment is life-saving—don’t delay seeking care.
