THE SCOPE OF OPERATIVE LAPAROSCOPY IN GYNAECOLOGY

In Gynaecology, laparoscopy now makes a real alternative for laparotomy in patients with ovarian tumors of various etiologies, in endometriosis, in ectopic pregnancies, in many infertility procedures, in uterine fibroid - to name a few of the most commonly used indications for laparoscopic surgery. In patients who have had previous surgery or surgeries, this forms an attractive alternative to the traditional operations since it does not add to further weakening of the pre-existing scars. In patients who would otherwise have or require an abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopy converts it to a vaginal procedure.

It is indeed the kindest cut for womankind that has made almost any kind of abdominal surgery possible using Laparoscope. It has also shown that it always matches and may at times exceed the traditional open procedures in terms of effectiveness.
