Laparoscopy Treatment of - Fibroids

Operative Laparoscopic Surgery is a sophisticated minimally invasive surgical technique employed to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the abdominal and pelvic regions. This approach involves making small incisions through which a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. It is commonly used to address issues such as endometriosis, fibroid uterus, and ovarian cysts.

Advantages of Operative Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Shorter Hospital Stay and Faster Recovery Time:

    • Patients typically experience a significantly reduced length of hospital stay compared to traditional open surgery. Many can return home within a day or even the same day as the procedure.
    • The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery allows for quicker recovery, enabling patients to resume normal activities sooner, often within a week or two.
  • Less Pain and Bleeding After the Operation:

    • Laparoscopic surgery generally results in less postoperative pain due to smaller incisions and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
    • Patients often report lower levels of pain medication required post-surgery, contributing to an overall more comfortable recovery experience.
    • The risk of significant bleeding during and after surgery is minimized, which further enhances safety and recovery.
  • Reduced Scarring:

    • With laparoscopic surgery, the small incisions (usually 0.5 to 1.5 centimeters) lead to minimal scarring compared to the larger incisions required in open surgery.
    • The cosmetic benefits of smaller scars are particularly appealing to many patients, as they contribute to improved body image and self-esteem.

Common Indications for Operative Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Endometriosis: The laparoscope can be used to identify and excise endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus, relieving pain and improving fertility.
  • Fibroid Uterus: Laparoscopic techniques allow for the removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, reducing symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure.
  • Ovarian Cysts: Surgeons can remove or drain cysts using laparoscopic methods, alleviating discomfort and preventing complications.
