Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a surgical diagnostic procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen. It's a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions. Laparoscopy uses an instrument called a laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs.
About gynaecological laparoscopy
Gynaecological laparoscopy is used to find out what’s causing certain symptoms you may have, as well as to treat several different conditions. These include:
- Diagnosing and treating endometriosis – this is where cells like those that line your womb are found in other parts of your body
- Removing scar tissue (adhesions) – scars can develop after infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease or because of endometriosis
- Treating an ectopic pregnancy – this is where a fertilised egg starts to develop outside your womb
- Performing a sterilisation, which means closing your fallopian tubes so that you can no longer get pregnant
- Removing an ovarian cyst
- Removing your womb (hysterectomy) or ovaries (oophorectomy)
- Treating fibroids
- Investigating whether you may have cancer or whether cancer has spread
What is a laparoscopy?
A laparoscopy is the most common way to diagnose endometriosis. During a laparoscopy, a small telescope (laparoscope) is inserted into the abdomen to look directly at the internal tissue. Laparoscopies are always carried out under general anaesthetic. During a laparoscopy various procedures can be performed in order to destroy or remove the endometriosis, endometriotic cysts and release scar tissue (adhesions).
