Laparoscopic Gynae Surgery
Laparoscopic Gynae Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various conditions of the female reproductive system. It involves making small incisions through which a tiny camera and specialized instruments are inserted, allowing the surgeon to operate with precision and minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Conditions Commonly Treated :
Laparoscopy can be used to diagnose and treat:
- Uterine fibroids
- Ovarian cysts or tumors
- Endometriosis
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Pelvic adhesions
- Infertility-related issues
- Removal of uterus (hysterectomy) or fallopian tubes
Symptoms That May Require Surgery :

- Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Pain during intercourse
- Chronic lower abdominal discomfort
- Unexplained infertility
- Suspected pelvic mass or cyst
Causes of These Conditions :
- Hormonal imbalances
- Genetic predisposition (e.g., fibroids, endometriosis)
- Previous pelvic infections or surgeries
- Endocrine disorders
- Repeated miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies
Treatment & Surgical Procedure :
-
Performed under general anesthesia
-
Small (keyhole) incisions made in the abdomen
-
A laparoscope (camera) guides the surgeon
-
Diseased tissues are removed or repaired
-
Same-day or short hospital stay
-
Faster healing and minimal scarring
Prevention & Health Maintenance :

- Regular gynaecological check-ups
-
Managing hormonal imbalances early
