Laparoscopy: A Minimally Invasive Approach to Gynecological Care

At John Labban, M.D., PC, we are dedicated to providing advanced gynecological care with a focus on minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows Dr. Labban to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a small, thin tube with a camera attached to it (laparoscope) to view the inside of your abdomen and pelvis. This allows Dr. Labban to see your reproductive organs without making large incisions.

How is Laparoscopy Performed?

During laparoscopy, small incisions are made in your abdomen, typically near your belly button. Carbon dioxide gas is used to gently inflate your abdomen, creating space for the laparoscope and surgical instruments. The laparoscope is inserted through one incision, providing a clear view of your organs on a monitor. Specialized instruments are then inserted through the other incisions to perform the necessary procedures.

What Conditions Can Be Diagnosed and Treated with Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a versatile procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of gynecological conditions, including:

Endometriosis: To identify and remove endometrial implants.

Ovarian cysts: To diagnose and remove cysts.

Ectopic pregnancy: To diagnose and treat a pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus.

Pelvic pain: To identify the cause of unexplained pelvic pain.

Infertility: To assess the fallopian tubes and other pelvic organs.

Sterilization: A permanent birth control option.

Benefits of Laparoscopy:

Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopy offers numerous benefits:

Smaller incisions: Resulting in less scarring and reduced risk of infection.

Less pain: Minimized tissue trauma leads to less postoperative discomfort.

Faster recovery: Patients typically return to their normal activities sooner.
