Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis. It uses a laparoscope—a thin tube with a high-resolution camera and light—to visualize internal organs on a monitor.
Why is Laparoscopy Performed?
1. Diagnostic Purposes:
Unexplained pelvic pain
Infertility evaluation
Suspected endometriosis
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Evaluation of ovarian cysts or masses
Cancer staging
2. Therapeutic Purposes:
Removal of ovarian cysts or fibroids
Treatment of endometriosis
Tubal ligation (sterilization)
Ectopic pregnancy management
Hysterectomy (laparoscopic-assisted)
Adhesiolysis (removal of pelvic adhesions)
