REPRODUCTIVE SURGERY –LAPAROSCOPY AND HYSTEROSCOPY

Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are minimally invasive surgical procedures that offer rapid and safe solutions for various conditions. These procedures provide advantages such as reduced bleeding, postoperative discomfort, and hospital stay, as well as quicker recovery and return to daily activities compared to open surgeries like laparotomy. In terms of fertility, both hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can improve reproductive prognosis in patients with a history of fibroids or Müllerian malformations. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced implantation failure or recurrent miscarriages due to intracavitary (inside the uterus) issues like polyps or submucosal fibroids.

• LAROSCOPY: This procedure is perfomed through small abdominal incisions, usually a 1 cm incision near the navel and two 0.5 cm incisions on the lower abdomen. A camera is inserted through the incisions, allowing visualization of internal organs including the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and other abdominal structures. Laparoscopy can address conditions, and endometriosis. In expert hands, it is a gentle, quick, and relatively painless procedure.

• HYSTEROSCOPY: This procedure is perfomed vaginally, using a specialized 27 mm lens inserted trhough the cervix to visualize the uterine cavity from within. It identifies and treats intracavitary conditions like polyps, fibroids, synechiae (adhesions), and septa. Hysteroscopy can be diagnostic (perfomed in an office setting) or surgical (perfomed in an operating room), when conducted by skilled professionals, is a gentle, swift, and relatively painless procedure.
