Do you suffering from the Gynecological Problem?
Laparoscopy Surgery For the Gynecological
Problems.
2
What is Laparoscopy?
  • Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic
    laparoscopy, is a surgical diagnostic procedure
    used to examine the organs inside the abdomen.
    Its a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure
    that requires only small incisions.
  • Laparoscopy uses an instrument called a
    laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs. A
    laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a
    high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera
    at the front. The instrument is inserted through
    an incision in the abdominal wall. As it moves
    along, the camera sends images to a video
    monitor.

Why to Perform Laparoscopy?
  • Laparoscopy is often used to identify and
    diagnose the source of pelvic or abdominal pain.
    Its usually performed when noninvasive methods
    are unable to help with diagnosis.
  • In many cases, abdominal problems can also be
    diagnosed with imaging techniques such as
  • ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound
    waves to create images of the body
  • CT scan, which is a series of special X-rays that
    take cross-sectional images of the body
  • MRI scan, which uses magnets and radio waves to
    produce images of the body
  • Laparoscopy is performed when these tests dont
    provide enough information or insight for a
    diagnosis. The procedure may also be used to take
    a biopsy, or sample of tissue, from a particular
    organ in the abdomen.

What is Risk in Laparoscopy?
  • The most common risks associated with laparoscopy
    are bleeding, infection, and damage to organs in
    your abdomen. However, these are rare
    occurrences.
  • After your procedure, its important to watch for
    any signs of infection. Contact your doctor if
    you experience
  • fevers or chills
  • abdominal pain that becomes more intense over
    time
  • redness, swelling, bleeding, or drainage at the
    incision sites
  • continuous nausea or vomiting
  • persistent cough
  • shortness of breath
  • inability to urinate
  • lightheadedness

5
What Prevention should be taken after Laparoscopy?
  • Unsafe to drive after the procedure.
  • Begin light activity as soon as youre able, in
    order to reduce your risk of blood clots.
  • Get more sleep than you normally do.
  • Use throat lozenges to ease the pain of a sore
    throat.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothes.
