Diseases that can be diagnosed by gynecological laparoscopy and types of laparoscopic treatments – Dr. Kosta Vasilevski

Laparoscopy generally has a shorter recovery time than open surgery. Leaves smaller scars. A gynecologist, general surgeon, or another type of specialist can perform this procedure. Gynecological laparoscopy is an alternative to open surgery. Use a laparoscope to look inside the pelvic area. Open surgery often requires a large incision. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted telescope. This allows your doctor to see inside your body. Diagnostic laparoscopy can determine if you have conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids. It can also be a form of treatment. With miniaturized instruments, your doctor can perform a variety of surgeries.

Diseases that can be diagnosed by laparoscopy include:

  1. endometriosis
  2. uterine fibroids
  3. cysts or tumors of the ovaries
  4. ectopic pregnancy
  5. pelvic abscess or pus
  6. pelvic adhesions or painful scar tissue
  7. infertility
  8. pelvic inflammatory disease
