Bringing a new life into the world is a journey filled with excitement and mystery. Sometimes you may need a little extra help. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps in identifying and fixing certain pregnancy-related issues. We’ve already discussed that in our previous blog. But that may not be enough.

At times, you may require further specific treatments. These may increase your chances of conception. Wondering what they are? Mykare Health is here to give you the ultimate guide on these treatments after laparoscopy.

Before we delve into the treatments after laparoscopy, here’s a glimpse of laparoscopy treatment for pregnancy.

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery. It is a groundbreaking medical technique for pregnancy related issues. It allows doctors to perform complex procedures with minimal incisions.

Here are certain must-knows about laparoscopic surgery.

What happens before laparoscopy

• Your doctor will do your evaluation first and review your medical history. Mykare Health will connect you with the expert surgeons for this step.
• The doctor will conduct necessary pre-operative tests and imaging like ultrasound, CT scan, MRI.
• He/she will get your consent for laparoscopy.

What happens during laparoscopy

• Surgeons will give general anaesthesia to ensure that you are unconscious. And don’t feel any pain.

• They will place you in the appropriate position on the operating table. You will have to lie flat with arms at the side, raised.

• The surgeon will make a small incision (about 1 cm) near your navel.

• He will then insert a trocar (a tube-like device) into the incision. And pump carbon dioxide gas into the abdominal cavity. This creates a working space by lifting the abdominal wall away from the organs.

• The surgeon will insert the laparoscope. It is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the tip through the trocar. It will help surgeons to see the internal organs on a monitor.

• He/she will make about 2 to 4 more small incisions in strategic locations. This will help to accommodate specialised surgical instruments.

• The surgeon will use the laparoscopic instruments to perform surgical tasks. Like, cutting, suturing, stapling, or removing tissues or organs.

• The surgeon uses a monitor where the surgical field is magnified. This improves precision and accuracy during the procedure.

• Techniques like cauterisation and others control bleeding.

What happens after laparoscopy

• The surgeon will remove the instruments and laparoscope from your body. He/she will close the trocar incisions with sutures, surgical glue, or adhesive strips.

• The surgeon will check on you as you recover from anaesthesia.

• He/she will give you instructions and tips on caring. That will reduce the risk of complications. And lead to quicker recovery.
