The Laparoscopic Surgery Process
Performed under general anaesthesia, laparoscopy is a surgery where a surgeon makes a small cut in your navel to insert a laparoscope. The device then transmits images to a screen, giving the doctor a clear view of the organs. If the purpose is only a diagnosis, the doctor will use the process only to check the health of your organs. But if you need a surgery, other incisions are made using the laparoscope as the guide. A doctor can perform multiple surgeries on the patient, including:
- Tubal ligation
- Hysterectomy
- Ovarian cyst removal
- Removal of Fibroids
- Surgery for Endometriosis
