Laparoscopy
Advanced, Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of gynecological conditions. Sometimes called keyhole surgery, it involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a thin camera (laparoscope) to view the pelvic organs.
At Saumed Gyna Care, our gynecology team uses modern laparoscopic techniques to provide effective treatment while aiming to minimize discomfort, scarring, and recovery time.
What Can Laparoscopy Treat
Laparoscopic surgery may be recommended for conditions such as:
- Ovarian cysts
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids
- Pelvic adhesions
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Infertility-related conditions
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Blocked fallopian tubes
Our team of specialists will assess your symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and test results to determine whether laparoscopy is suitable for you.
Common Laparoscopic Procedures
Depending on your condition, our gynaecologists may recommend:
- Laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal
- Laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis
- Laparoscopic removal of fibroids (myomectomy)
- Laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy
- Diagnostic laparoscopy
- Laparoscopic sterilisation
- Other minimally invasive gynaecological procedures
Why Choose Laparoscopic Surgery
Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopy may offer several benefits, depending on the procedure and individual patient:
- Smaller surgical incisions
- Less postoperative discomfort
- Reduced scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to normal activities
- Lower risk of some complications associated with larger abdominal incisions
What to expect
Laparoscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope equipped with a camera. The abdomen is gently inflated with carbon dioxide to create space for the surgeon to see and operate safely.
Additional small instruments may be inserted through other incisions to perform the required procedure.
After surgery, the instruments are removed and the small incisions are closed.
