Our skilled surgeons use diagnostic laparoscopy to visually examine the pelvic and abdominal organs. This procedure aids in diagnosing various gynecological conditions accurately. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to visualize and examine the abdominal and pelvic organs using a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source attached to it. This procedure is often used to diagnose various medical conditions and determine the cause of symptoms when other diagnostic methods are inconclusive.

During a diagnostic laparoscopy:

    1.    Anesthesia: The patient is usually under general anesthesia, ensuring they are asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
    2.    Small Incisions: Small incisions (keyhole incisions) are made in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope and other specialized instruments.
    3.    Visualization: The laparoscope transmits real-time images of the internal organs to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to examine the structures closely.
    4.    Exploration: The surgeon carefully examines the abdominal and pelvic organs, checking for abnormalities, adhesions, inflammation, or any other issues that could be causing the patient’s symptoms.
    5.    Biopsies or Procedures: If necessary, the surgeon may take tissue samples (biopsies) or perform minor procedures during the same operation.

Diagnostic laparoscopy can be used to investigate a range of conditions, including abdominal pain, infertility, pelvic pain, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and more. Its minimally invasive nature means shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.
