Laparoscopic Excision Surgery

Laparoscopic Excision Surgery is a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure commonly used for the treatment of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of the uterus, leading to the formation of implants or lesions in the pelvic region. These implants can cause significant pain, inflammation, and fertility issues.

During Laparoscopic Excision Surgery  for endometriosis, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Several small incisions, typically ranging from 0.5 to 1 centimetre in size, are made in the abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdominal cavity to create space and improve visualisation. The surgeon inserts a laparoscope, a thin, lighted instrument with a camera, through one of the incisions. The camera provides a magnified view of the pelvic organs and the endometriotic implants on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to precisely identify and assess the extent of the disease. Additional specialised instruments, such as graspers, scissors, or electrocautery devices, are inserted through the other incisions to perform the excision. The surgeon carefully excises or removes the endometriotic implants and any surrounding scar tissue or adhesions. The goal is to completely remove the abnormal tissue while preserving the healthy tissue and structures in the pelvis. The excised tissue is often sent for laboratory analysis to confirm the diagnosis and guide further treatment decisions.

Laparoscopic Excision Surgery for endometriosis offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. The smaller incisions result in reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and can return to their normal activities sooner. The precision of the laparoscopic approach allows for targeted removal of the endometriotic implants, reducing the risk of recurrence and improving long-term outcomes. In addition to the excision of endometriotic implants, other procedures may be performed during laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, depending on the individual case. These may include the division of adhesions, the removal of ovarian cysts (endometriomas), or the restoration of normal pelvic anatomy.
