Operative Laparoscopy
|
3-4 small 1 cm size incisions are made on the abdominal wall. A fiber optic telescope
called a laparoscope is inserted into the Female's abdomen to look for and treat
endometriosis, scarring, adhesions, and other pelvic disease. Instruments such as
cautery can be useful in some cases to treat adhesions and endometriosis. The primary
advantages of laparoscopy include rapid patient recovery (due to the extremely small
incision) and decreased cost (since the patient nearly always goes home the same
day). Aside from the treatment of extremely large fibroids, most pelvic surgery
can be performed laparoscopically
