Laparoscopic Surgery
A minimally invasive surgical technique used for diagnosing and treating conditions within the abdomen and pelvis.
Laparoscopic surgery, sometimes referred to as keyhole surgery, uses small incisions and specialised instruments to treat conditions affecting reproductive organs and the pelvis. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic techniques offer a quicker recovery, reduced pain, and less scarring.
This approach is commonly used to treat endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and other gynaecological conditions.
Related Conditions
Nestled within your pelvis are important organs like your ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus (womb), bowel and bladder. Pelvic pain can affect any or a combination of these organs due to a number of common and not so common conditions.
Ovarian cysts are solid or fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries and are very common, especially in women of reproductive age. Most ovarian cysts are harmless, cause no symptoms, and often resolve on their own. However, some may lead to symptoms such as pelvic pain or pressure, bloating, irregular periods, pain during sex or bowel movements, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen. In rare cases, a cyst may rupture or twist (a condition called ovarian torsion), which can cause sudden, severe abdominal pain and requires urgent medical attention.
Myomas (fibroids) are incredibly common with some studies estimating that 70-80% of women will have a fibroid at some stage of their lives. A fibroid is a benign (non-cancerous) growth of muscle that is found in or around the uterus. It may be any size and shape. We do not know why women get fibroids, though it is likely that a combination of factors contribute, such as genetics, hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone and the number of children you have had.
