Laparoscopy

πŸ”¬ Laparoscopy – A Minimally Invasive Diagnostic & Treatment Procedure

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various fertility and gynecological conditions. It allows doctors to directly view the reproductive organs β€” uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries β€” through a small incision using a thin instrument called a laparoscope. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, laparoscopy plays a vital role in identifying hidden causes of infertility and correcting issues to improve conception chances.

Laparoscopy Procedure

🩺 What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a keyhole surgical technique that uses a small camera (laparoscope) inserted through the abdomen to view internal pelvic organs. It helps diagnose problems such as endometriosis, fibroids, adhesions, and blocked fallopian tubes β€” all of which can cause infertility. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually allows for a quick recovery.

🎯 Why is Laparoscopy Done?

Laparoscopy can be both diagnostic (to identify causes) and therapeutic (to treat conditions). It is recommended for women facing:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Severe pelvic pain or painful periods
  • Suspected endometriosis or pelvic adhesions
  • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
  • Ovarian cysts or fibroids
  • Ectopic pregnancy

🧬 Procedure Overview

The laparoscopy process involves the following steps:

  1. A small incision (around 1 cm) is made near the navel.
  2. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced to gently inflate the abdomen for a clear view.
  3. The laparoscope, equipped with a camera and light, is inserted.
  4. The surgeon examines the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries for any abnormalities.
  5. If required, treatment (like removing cysts, fibroids, or endometriosis tissue) is done simultaneously.
  6. The incision is closed with minimal sutures, leaving little to no visible scar.

πŸ’‘ Benefits of Laparoscopy

  • Small incisions and faster recovery time
  • Less pain and scarring compared to open surgery
  • Accurate diagnosis of infertility causes
  • Can treat conditions during the same procedure
  • Improves fertility outcomes for women with pelvic issues

⏱️ Recovery After Laparoscopy

Most women recover within 2–5 days after the procedure. Mild pain or discomfort around the incision site is normal and usually subsides quickly. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few days and follow up with their doctor for results and further treatment planning.
