Laparoscopy

A laparoscope (without laparotomy) is used to remove fibroids from the uterus, as well as to remove ovarian cysts.

It is one of the latest technologies used in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, as it is used to diagnose and treat the causes of delayed pregnancy, without any surgical opening of the abdomen.

The laparoscope consists of a flexible tube with an imaging lens at the end, which is of high quality and is characterized by accuracy and clarity in image reflection.

• Returning home after a laparoscopy on the same day also makes the recovery process faster.
• Therefore, there is less bleeding in laparoscopic procedures compared to laparostomy.
• Laparoscopy does not cause adhesions, which is a complication of surgeries and leads to delayed childbearing afterward.
• Suction or removal of a cyst on the ovary through the laparoscope also preserves ovarian reserve as opposed to removing it by opening the abdomen surgically.
• It is also less painful than opening the abdomen and you need mild painkillers.
