Recovery
1-2 weeks for many procedures
Category
surgery

Treatment Overview

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, uses a thin lighted camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions. For selected gynecologic and gynecologic-oncology cases, it offers an alternative to traditional open surgery with reduced trauma to surrounding tissue.

Purpose & Indications

To diagnose and treat gynecologic conditions and selected early-stage cancers through small incisions, minimizing surgical trauma where oncologic safety allows.

Procedure Details

1

Small incisions are made in the abdomen for the camera and instruments

2

The abdomen is gently inflated with gas to create operating space

3

The procedure is performed under magnified, high-definition visualization

4

Tissue is removed and incisions are closed with minimal suturing

Benefits

Smaller incisions and less visible scarring
Reduced post-operative pain in many cases
Shorter hospital stay and faster return to daily activities
Lower risk of wound-related complications

Considerations

Suitability depends on the type, size, and stage of disease
Not appropriate for all cancers, where open surgery may be safer
Requires specialized laparoscopic surgical training
Some procedures may need conversion to open surgery

Potential Risks

Bleeding
Infection
Injury to adjacent organs
Risks related to anaesthesia
Possible conversion to open surgery
