Laparoscopic Surgery

“Keyhole” surgery performed via small abdominal incisions to allow insertion of a tiny video camera and operating ports to perform procedures.

It can be used for removal of the womb, fibroids and ovarian cysts.

Benefits include minimal scar formation and faster recovery after surgery.

Patients need to be assessed for their suitability for this method of surgery, depending on their individual health status and gynaecological condition.

Ovarian Cyst Removal

Laparoscopic surgery is the mainstay of treatment for most ovarian cysts, except for suspected ovarian cancer.

Reasons for requiring ovarian cyst surgery:
1. Peristent pelvic pain at site of ovarian cyst
2. Large ovarian cyst, which is at risk of rupture and torsion
3. Ovarian cancer is suspected - Open surgery is recommended

Uterine Fibroid Removal

The number, location and size of fibroids, as well as patient’s medical status determines if surgery for fibroid removal is either “keyhole” or open surgery.

For women desiring fertility, fibroid removal is recommended if symptomatic, distorting the womb lining or protruding into the womb cavity.

For those who have completed family, removal of womb is an option for women with symptomatic fibroids.

Fibroids are rarely malignant and open surgery recommended if malignancy is suspected, for instance in a rapidly growing fibroid.

Fertility Enhancing Surgery

Surgery helps to correct or remove structural abnormalities within the reproductive tract to :
1. improve spontaneous conception
2. success of assisted reproductive treatments
3. reduce miscarriage risk.

These surgeries include:

Removal of endometrial polyps.
Removing fibroids that indent on the womb lining or protrude into the womb cavity, as they affect implantation of the fertilized egg.
Remove large intramural fibroids which cause poor placentation and increase the risk of repeat miscarriage.
Laparoscopy for removal of endometriotic cysts, as it can also check for tubal patency and remove adhesions.
After endometriotic surgery, the patient is advised to try to conceive soon. If conception is not desired yet, she should embark on therapy that slows down the progression of endometriosis.
