Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a method of examination that allows you to examine with the help of a special optical device the organs of the abdominal cavity, including the area of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Through a small incision of the anterior abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity a narrow telescope-like device is inserted, and the image of the organs being examined appears on the video monitor.
Laparoscopy can be of three types. Diagnostic - visual examination of the abdominal organs with the use of an additional manipulator (usually goes into the operative). Operative - the whole volume of gynecological operations is performed. Control - is performed to monitor the effectiveness of previously performed surgical treatment.
Diagnostic laparoscopy is performed mainly under local anesthesia (less commonly under general anesthesia), the procedure takes about 20 minutes to 2 hours (in case of a complicated case). Approximately 2 hours after the examination, a woman can already get up, within 1-2 days it is recommended to avoid physical strain. Within a week after laparoscopic examination, moderate pain can occur at the incision site and in the lower abdomen.
