Operative Laparoscopy
What is Operative Laparoscopy ?
If a problem is found during diagnostic laparoscopy, the surgeon can often treat it on the spot without scheduling a separate surgery. This is called operative laparoscopy.
It’s both a diagnosis and treatment in one procedure, which saves time, prevents additional surgeries, and improves fertility chances.
When it is Considered ?
- Whenever diagnostic laparoscopy reveals a treatable condition.
In women with infertility linked to:
- Endometriosis
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Ovarian cysts
- Fibroids
- Pelvic adhesions
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, via ovarian drilling)
Process of Operative Laparoscopic
Operative laparoscopy follows the same steps as diagnostic, but with special instruments inserted through small additional incisions:
01
Scissors or lasers → to cut scar tissue or adhesions.
02
Electrosurgical tools → to destroy or cauterize endometriosis.
03
Forceps → to remove ovarian cysts or fibroids.
04
Needle or drills → for ovarian drilling in PCOS.
05
Suction devices → to remove fluids or tissues.
A morcellator (a device that breaks tissue into smaller pieces) may be used to remove larger fibroids or cysts through tiny incisions.
Results & Benefits
- Immediate treatment : Corrects fertility-blocking issues during the same surgery.
- Higher pregnancy chances : Removing endometriosis, clearing tubes, or treating fibroids can significantly improve natural conception and IVF success rates.
- Minimally invasive : Smaller scars, less pain, quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
