Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery
Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery is a minimally invasive procedure recommended by gynaecologists to diagnose and treat endometriosis.
During laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, a surgeon repairs and removes the endometrial tissue causing pain and addresses the abnormal growth in the bladder or bowel, which can prevent blockages and potentially improve fertility.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours at Atom Fertility in Karimnagar, and patients can go home on the same day. Recovery involves 1-2 weeks of restricted regular activity.
Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery: Procedure at Atom Fertility
- Anaesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, which ensures the patient is pain-free, comfortable, and remains unconscious during the procedure.
- Incisions: A small incision is made in the abdomen near the navel. A laparoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, is inserted to view the pelvic organs.
- Instrument Insertion: The surgeon inserts other instruments through several smaller incisions in the abdomen. These instruments are used to remove the endometrial tissue. Atom Fertility uses lasers and other energy sources to precisely destroy and remove the endometrial tissue implanted inside the body.
- Closure: Once all the endometrial tissue is removed, the surgeon removes the surgical instruments and laparoscope and closes the incisions with stitches and staples.
When do the gynaecologists recommend Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery?
A complex condition, endometriosis can cause chronic pelvic pain, bowel and bladder problems, cyst-like growths in the ovaries, and even infertility in women. However, the first line of defense is usually medication, where hormonal therapy is used to suppress estrogen production to slow the growth of the endometrial tissue implants that cause problems.
Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery is the most effective treatment option to address these tissue implants. It is also suggested by surgeons when medication does not provide sufficient pain relief or positive treatment outcomes. In cases where endometriosis is a chief contributing factor to infertility, endometriosis surgery is recommended for the couple.
