Laparoscopy for Infertility

Laparoscopy for Infertility

A laparoscopy is a form of treatment that inserts a flexible tube with a camera for testing a woman's reproductive organs such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes for problems that could make getting pregnant difficult. The doctor can check for problems including endometriosis, scar tissue, and blocked tubes using a small camera. Sometimes, these issues can be treated by the doctor at the same time with the surgery. It is a common method to find and solve infertility issues.


Our Procedure for Laparoscopy for Infertility Will Include:

  • The patient is given general anesthesia to stay asleep during the procedure.
  • The doctors make small cuts in the lower abdomen.
  • A thin tube with a camera and light called laparoscope is inserted through the cuts.
  • The abdomen is inflated with gas to create space and provide a clearer view of the reproductive organs.
  • The surgeon examines the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and other organs for any issues related to infertility.
  • If needed, additional tools are inserted through the incisions to treat problems like removing scar tissue or endometriosis.
  • The gas is released, and the small cuts are closed with stitches or surgical tape.
  • The patient is taken to a recovery area to wake up from the anesthesia.
  • After recovery, the patient can usually go home the same day but will need someone to drive them due to the effects of anesthesia.
