Laparoscopic Treatment

Laparoscopic treatment reduces the risk of an open surgery. The importance of laparoscopic treatment comes when the open surgery needs larger incisions. Laparoscope is a small telescope that enables to see inside portions of the human body. This treatment needs only less time for healing. This treatment can perform by a general surgeon, gynecologist and other specialist.

Laparoscopic Treatment is used for :

Unexplained pelvic pain
Unexplained infertility
Pelvic infection
Uterine fibroids
Endometriosis
Ovarian tumors
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Reproductive cancers

Fibroid removal
Removal of uterus
Ovarian cyst removal
Removal of ovaries, etc

Laparoscopic Procedure

The laparoscopic treatment is performed under the general anesthesia. By using a small needle, fills the abdomen with carbon dioxide. This is for separate the abdominal wall from the internal organs for reducing chance for injury. Then create an incision on the navel and insert the laparoscope, which gives a clear image of internal organs. That images can view through a computer screen. For a surgery, create an another cut on navel and perform surgery by keeping laparoscope as a guide.

New Approaches in Laparoscopy

Robotic Surgery : Robotics arms are used which are more accurate or steady than a human. It is used in gynecology.

Microlaparoscopy : Uses small laparoscope and performed under local anesthesia.

Risks of Laparoscopic Treatment

The common side effects of the laparoscopic treatment are bladder infection and irritation on the skin. There are some other severe effects also. But they are very rare. Some of them are:

Blood clots
Problems in urinating
Nerve damage, etc

The carbon dioxide, which is inserted during the time of surgery sometime makes a problem when that gas enters into blood vessels.
