Diagnostic and Operative Laparoscopy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various gynaecological conditions. It involves inserting a thin instrument with a camera, called a laparoscope, through a small incision in the abdomen, allowing doctors to examine the pelvic organs with precision. Diagnostic laparoscopy helps identify conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, pelvic adhesions, and causes of unexplained infertility. When treatment is required, operative laparoscopy allows surgeons to perform procedures such as removing ovarian cysts, treating endometriosis, releasing adhesions, and managing certain uterine or pelvic conditions.
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic procedures generally involve smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. With advanced surgical techniques and careful medical evaluation, this approach offers effective treatment while preserving reproductive health whenever possible. Proper consultation helps determine the most suitable treatment approach for each patient.
