Laparoscopy Procedures

Laparoscopy 

In laparoscopic surgery, surgeons make as few as two small incisions through which they insert surgical instruments and a tiny video camera into the body. The camera shows an image of the surgical site on a video screen, which the surgeon monitors while performing the procedure. Instead of cutting through large areas of healthy tissue and muscle, incisions in minimally invasive surgery are only one-half to three-quarters of an inch long. As a result, many women who undergo laparoscopic gynecologic surgery experience less pain, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, faster recovery times and smaller scars.

Laparoscopic Procedures

Many common surgeries can be performed laparoscopically today. Whether you're a candidate for laparoscopic surgery will depend on how complicated your condition is. Some complicated conditions may require open surgery to manage. However, laparoscopic surgery is becoming the preferred default method for a growing list of common operations, due to its cost-saving benefits and improved patient outcomes. The list includes:

• Cyst, fibroid, stone, and polyp removals
• Small tumor removals
• Biopsies
• Tubal ligation and Reversal 
• Ectopic pregnancy removal
• Endometriosis surgery
• Urethral and vaginal reconstruction surgery
