Laparoscopy: Procedure, Uses, Cost and More

 A Laparoscopy is performed to detect and treat a range of conditions of the pelvic region. The name laparoscopy comes from the instrument called laparoscope used to perform this procedure. A laparoscope is a flexible tube-like device with a light and camera held at one end. The flexibility of this device enables it to move in between the intricate areas within the pelvis. 


Diagnostic laparoscopy is performed to detect conditions of the reproductive system such as:

  • Ovarian cysts

  • Endometriosis

  • Uterine fibroids

  • Infections and scarring

  • Pelvic adhesions

  • Ectopic pregnancy

  • Blocked/damaged fallopian tubes 


Operational laparoscopy involves the removal of cysts, fibroids, scars, adhesions, blocked tubes, and treatment of endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy.


How is laparoscopy performed?


Laparoscopy requires anesthesia to be administered before the procedure is performed. After which a small incision is made below the navel region. This insertion allows the laparoscope inside. The laparoscope helps the doctor to view within and understand the condition with the help of images received on the monitor in real-time. 

More insertions are made in case of operational laparoscopy to send instruments/equipment that enable the treatment procedure. The number of insertions depends on the extent of the condition to be treated. The insertions are later sealed using glue or stitches and the wounds are cleanly dressed. Nowadays robot-assisted laparoscopy called robotic laparoscopy is performed and 3 Dimensional laparoscopy provides 3D images of the abdominal organs.

Laparoscopy though requires anesthesia, some of the key benefits include:

  • Less discomfort after laparoscopy.

  • less stay in hospital.
