Hystero-Laparoscopy

Hystero-Laparoscopy is a combined surgical procedure that involves both hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.

Hysteroscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera (hysteroscope) through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. This allows for direct visualization and treatment of uterine abnormalities.

Laparoscopy involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to view the pelvic organs, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and outer surface of the uterus.

The camera allows the surgeon to inspect the interior of the uterus and, if necessary, perform procedures such as polypectomy or myomectomy.

The laparoscope provides images of the pelvic organs, and the surgeon can perform interventions such as removing cysts, treating endometriosis, or evaluating ovarian function.
