Laparoscopic procedures in gynecology are minimally invasive surgical techniques in which a laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in the abdominal wall. This instrument allows gynecologists to visualize the internal pelvic organs, such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Laparoscopic techniques are commonly used for a variety of gynecological procedures, including:
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Removal of ovarian cysts
- Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
- Sterilization procedures
These minimally invasive surgeries offer patients the advantages of faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open procedures.
