Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a cutting-edge technique used to address a variety of uterine abnormalities, including fibroids, endometriosis, and other related conditions. Fibroids, or uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumors that develop within the uterine wall. They can vary in size and number, and while they are often asymptomatic, they may cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or rectum.

Benefits

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery:

Dr

Minimally Invasive:

The procedure involves only small incisions, through which a laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments are inserted.

Dr

Reduced Recovery Time:

Patients typically experience a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Most individuals can return to their daily activities within a few days to a week.

Dr

Less Pain and Scarring:

Smaller incisions mean less post-operative pain and minimal scarring, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Dr

Shorter Hospital Stay:

Many laparoscopic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis or require only a brief hospital stay.

Procedure Details:

Preparation:

Prior to the procedure, a thorough evaluation, including imaging and diagnostic tests, will be conducted to assess the size, location, and number of fibroids or other abnormalities.

Procedure:

You will be asked to undress from the waist up and wear a provided gown. The Laparoscopic technician will position your breast on the X-ray plate and gently compress it with a plate to spread out the tissue.

Anesthesia:

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and minimize pain.

Surgical Process:

Small incisions are made in the abdominal area, through which the laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon carefully removes or reduces the size of the fibroids or addresses other uterine abnormalities.

Post-Operative Care

After the procedure, patients are monitored for a short period before being discharged. Post-operative care instructions will include pain management, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.

Duration:

The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, with the actual imaging lasting just a few seconds per view.

What Are Fibroids and Uterine Abnormalities?

Fibroids, or uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumors that develop within the uterine wall. They can vary in size and number, and while they are often asymptomatic, they may cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or rectum. Other uterine abnormalities, such as endometriosis and  adenomyosis, can also cause significant discomfort and impact overall reproductive health.
