Laparoscopic Gynecology refers to the use of minimally invasive keyhole surgery techniques to diagnose and treat gynecological conditions. Instead of large incisions, surgeons make small cuts and use a thin instrument called a laparoscope (a tiny camera with light) to see inside the pelvis. This method offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. 🔍 Common Procedures in Laparoscopic Gynecology ✅ Diagnostic Laparoscopy Used to investigate causes of: Pelvic pain Infertility Unexplained bleeding Endometriosis ✅ Therapeutic/Operative Procedures Laparoscopic Hysterectomy – removal of the uterus Laparoscopic Myomectomy – removal of fibroids Treatment of Endometriosis – excising or burning endometrial tissue Ovarian Cystectomy – removal of ovarian cysts Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery – removal of ectopic tissue Tubal Ligation – permanent female sterilization Pelvic Adhesion Removal – to relieve chronic pain or improve fertility 💡 Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery Small incisions (usually 0.5–1 cm) Less post-operative pain Quicker recovery time Shorter hospital stay Lower risk of infection Minimal blood loss Faster return to daily activities 🧑‍⚕️ Who Should Consider Laparoscopic Gynecology? Women experiencing: Chronic pelvic pain Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding Known fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis Infertility needing surgical evaluation Recurrent pelvic infections Desire for minimally invasive hysterectomy 🛌 Recovery Time Most patients go home the same day or next day, with full recovery in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the procedure.
