Diagnostic laparoscopy is helpful in diagnosing the cause of infertility. By laparoscopy we have a direct look on Uterus, Ovaries and Tubes. Up till now we have performed many Laparoscopic and Hysteroscopic Surgeries with good result.
Laparoscopy is also termed as Minimally Invasive Surgery or key-hole surgery. Principal of this technique is to perform the same operation as what would have been done by open surgical procedures but through minute openings on the body. This significantly reduces the pain after surgery and the duration of hospitalization. These procedures are carried out under general anesthesia. Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are often performed together.
A laparoscopy is an operation in which your doctor will inspect the organs of your abdomen and pelvis. This is most commonly done for cases where couples have difficulty in becoming pregnant (infertility), in women with repeated abortions or pelvic pain. Almost all types of pelvic surgery can be performed laparoscopically. During this procedure your doctor will make one, two (or sometimes three) very small incisions in your abdomen. Through these incisions he will inspect the organs of your abdomen and pelvis. He can perform very fine surgery through these same incisions if required.
A hysteroscopy is an operation in which the Doctor will inspect the interior of your womb. This is most commonly done for cases where couples have difficulty in becoming pregnant (infertility) and in women with repeated abortions or heavy bleeding. A liquid medium is used to distend the cavity of the womb and the interior can then be viewed. If required, a surgical procedure can be performed at the same time. You would generally be discharged on the same day of the procedure.
If you have had a general anesthetic for your operation, you must be accompanied by a responsible adult for 24 hours. Although you may feel alright, the effects of the anesthetic can persist for 48 hours. Therefore you must:
|
| |
 |
|
Go straight home and rest quietly |
|
|
Not drive a vehicle for 48 hours |
|
|
Not operate any potentially dangerous machinery for 48 hours |
|
|
Do not make any important decisions for 48 hours |
