Laparoscopy (Keyhole Surgery)
Surgery through small incisions using a camera and fine instruments.
How It Works
- The abdomen is gently inflated with carbon dioxide
- A laparoscope (camera) shows a magnified view on a monitor
- Fine instruments are passed through 5–10 mm ports
Benefits
- Less pain and smaller scars
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to work
- Lower risk of wound infection than open surgery
Accuracy
- Magnified, direct view of the pelvic organs
- Considered the reference standard for diagnosing endometriosis and checking the tubes
Why It Is Better
- Diagnosis and treatment are often done in the same sitting
- Better for fertility-preserving surgery
