Laparoscopy is a modern, minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) to view and treat internal organs. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires larger cuts, laparoscopy results in less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery.

Laparoscopy is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including ovarian cysts, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ectopic pregnancies, pelvic infections, unexplained infertility, and blocked fallopia

Most patients do not feel any pain during laparoscopy as it is performed under general anesthesia. After the procedure, some discomfort such as mild bloating or shoulder pain from the gas used to expand the abdomen may occur, but these symptoms typically resolve quickly.

Recovery time is relatively quick. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with complete recovery usually occurring within 1-2 weeks. Minor discomfort or bloating may be present but typically dissipates within a short period.

Yes, laparoscopy is often used to diagnose and treat infertility. It can resolve conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic adhesions, thereby improving the chances of conception naturally or enhancing the success of fertility treatments like IUI and IVF.
