No Cost EMI, Hassle-free Insurance Approval
Why Is Laparoscopy Used for Endometriosis?
Laparoscopy is considered the gold standard because it:
- Confirms the diagnosis visually
- Allows simultaneous treatment
- Minimizes damage to healthy tissue
What Happens During Laparoscopic Treatment?
1. Diagnosis and Mapping
- A camera (laparoscope) is inserted through small incisions
- Surgeons identify the location and severity of endometriosis
2. Removal or Destruction of Lesions
- Endometrial tissue is removed (excision) or destroyed (ablation)
- Adhesions (scar tissue) are released
3. Preservation of Fertility
- Care is taken to protect ovaries and reproductive organs
When Is Laparoscopic Surgery Recommended?
- Severe pelvic pain not controlled by medication
- Infertility associated with endometriosis
- Ovarian cysts (endometriomas)
- Suspicion of advanced disease
Benefits of Laparoscopic Treatment
- Minimally invasive (small incisions)
- Accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment
- Relief from pain symptoms
- Improved chances of conception in some cases
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
