LAPAROSCOPY OPERATION SERVICES

What is laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that involves insertion of a narrow telescope-like instrument through a small incision in the belly button. This allows visualization of the abdominal and pelvic organs including the area of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

What is laparoscopy used for in women with infertility?

This procedure allows us to determine whether there are any defects such as scar tissue, endometriosis, fibroid tumors and other abnormalities of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

If any defects are found Fertility clinics are doing far less diagnostic laparoscopy today than in the 1980's and 1990's. Much of this is due to the major advances in IVF technologies and the resulting increases in IVF success rates . Couples are carefully considering the costs of fertility treatments for women. They are asking for insemination treatments and in vitro fertilization , but are usually not interested in having diagnostic surgery.
