What is Laparoscopy?

💡 Laparoscopy is minimally invasive keyhole surgery using a camera (laparoscope) inserted through small abdominal incisions. In fertility medicine it diagnoses and treats endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts, and blocked fallopian tubes.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery, also called keyhole surgery. A thin camera (laparoscope) and small instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon can directly view and treat the pelvic organs. It is used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, pelvic adhesions, and blocked fallopian tubes. Laparoscopy is both a diagnostic tool and a treatment. The goal is to improve natural conception rates or prepare the body for IVF.

🇮🇳 India Context: Laparoscopy is widely assessed and treated across major Indian fertility centres including Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad.

When is Laparoscopy used?

  • Suspected endometriosis — definitive diagnosis and surgical treatment
  • Pelvic adhesions from prior infection, surgery, or appendicitis
  • Ovarian cysts — drainage or excision
  • Tubal surgery — salpingostomy or salpingectomy
  • Unexplained infertility with normal HSG — excludes subtle pelvic pathology
  • Prior to IVF in selected cases (hydrosalpinx removal improves IVF outcome)

Risks and considerations

⚠️ Anaesthetic risk, infection, bleeding, and rare injury to bowel, bladder, or vessels. Recovery 3–7 days. Complication rate <2% in experienced hands. Always discuss risks with your fertility specialist before treatment.
