Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery

An alternative to open surgery, gynecologic laparoscopy allows a doctor to look inside the pelvic area via an incision in the pelvis or stomach. The instrument used is called a laparoscope, which is a slender, lighted tube that features a high-resolution camera on the tip. Predominantly, it is a diagnostic procedure, allowing for the identification of certain conditions, including:

• Endometriosis
• Uterine fibroids
• Ovarian cysts or tumors
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Pelvic abscesses
• Pelvic adhesions
• Infertility
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Reproductive cancers
