Laparoscopy, also called keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive technique. Instead of one large cut, a few small incisions are made in the abdomen. A thin telescope with a camera (the laparoscope) shows the pelvic organs on a screen, and fine instruments are used to examine or treat them. Compared with open surgery, it often means smaller scars, less pain and a quicker return to routine, although it is not suitable for every patient or condition.
When scans and tests do not explain symptoms, a direct look inside can help. Diagnostic laparoscopy is used to investigate chronic pelvic pain, suspected endometriosis or adhesions, and some causes of infertility, such as tubal problems. A small tissue sample may be taken if needed. Learn about diagnostic laparoscopy.
Here the problem is treated during the same procedure. Depending on the condition, this may include removing ovarian cysts or fibroids, treating endometriosis, or tubal procedures, including laparoscopic sterilisation. [CONFIRM: PROCEDURE LIST OFFERED BY DR. DAS.] The best approach depends on your diagnosis, age and future pregnancy plans. See operative laparoscopy.
Hysteroscopy uses a thin telescope passed through the vagina and cervix, so there are no cuts on the abdomen. It helps evaluate abnormal uterine bleeding, polyps, fibroids inside the uterine cavity, adhesions and uterine shape, including in women with infertility or repeated pregnancy loss. Some problems can be treated during the same procedure. Explore hysteroscopy services.
Laparoscopy is often one step within broader care. Fibroids, cysts and period problems are assessed under gynecology services, including fibroid and cyst management. If you are having difficulty conceiving, an infertility evaluation may come first, and permanent contraception can be discussed under contraception and family planning.
Your doctor may suggest it for persistent pelvic pain, large or growing ovarian cysts, symptomatic fibroids, suspected endometriosis, unexplained difficulty conceiving, or abnormal bleeding that has not settled with medicines. Many of these conditions can first be monitored or treated without surgery. Surgery is advised only when it is likely to help, and a second opinion is always reasonable.
Before: you will have a consultation, an examination, relevant scans and blood tests, an anaesthetic check, and instructions on fasting and medicines. The procedure, benefits and risks are explained and your consent is taken.
During: most procedures are done under general anaesthesia through small incisions. If it is unsafe to continue keyhole, the surgeon may need to convert to open surgery, which is discussed in advance.
After: many patients go home within a day or two, depending on the procedure, and return to light activity within days. Mild shoulder-tip pain or bloating from the gas used is common. Contact your doctor for fever, worsening pain, heavy bleeding, wound redness or discharge, persistent vomiting or breathlessness.

For conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and some causes of infertility, when tests or other treatment are not enough.
Laparoscopy looks at the outside of the uterus, tubes and ovaries through the abdomen. Hysteroscopy looks inside the uterine cavity through the vagina, without abdominal cuts. See
It varies by procedure. Many patients go home within a day or two and resume light activities within days, but heavier work and exercise are usually delayed. Your surgeon will advise you.
It is widely used, but like any surgery it carries risks, such as bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs and anaesthesia-related risks. These are explained in advance, and careful assessment helps lower them.
It can help find or treat causes such as blocked tubes, adhesions, endometriosis or cysts. It is used selectively, usually after basic infertility tests.
No. Some cases are better handled by open surgery, and sometimes conversion is needed for safety. Your surgeon will discuss the best approach before the procedure.
