Laparoscopic Surgeries

Laparoscopic Surgery in Punjab

Laparoscopy Surgery - What is it?

It is a minimally invasive surgery that is used to diagnose & treat conditions of the internal organs by making small incisions. It is an advanced type of surgery that allows the doctor to view the internal organs of the abdomen or other organs without opening them. It poses less risk and discomfort to the patient. Laparoscopy surgery in Moga is available at Gomti Thapar.

Laparoscopy Surgery for the Uterus

A laparoscope is an important tool for diagnosing disorders of the pelvic area, urinary bladder, and uterus. In open surgery, the procedure will require long stitches and extensive invasion. The healing time will also be longer. But if the patient opts for laparoscopy, then the same surgery can perform with the help of small incisions which may be as small as only 1.5 inches long. The surgery is known as keyhole surgery. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia but local anaesthesia can be given as well.

Laparoscopy Surgery for Fibroids

What are Fibroids?

A fibroid is a growth that develops around the womb. Although it is noncancerous, it causes discomfort and infertility. Fibroid treatment in Moga can be availed at the Gomti Thapar clinic. The fibroids may appear in various sizes. The condition may exist without any symptoms but some may experience symptoms like:
  1. Discomfort during periods, heavy bleeding, and pain
  2. Pain in the lower back
  3. Urge to urinate frequently
  4. Constipation
  5. Pain during sexual interaction
  6. Infertility

Laparoscopy for Fibroids

The surgeon makes a small incision near the belly button, into which the laparoscope is inserted. The laparoscope is a tubular structure fitted with a camera. The surgery performs with the help of instruments that inserts through other incisions in the wall of the abdomen.

Ovarian Cysts Treatment

Follicular cyst: These cysts form in a follicle where an egg develops during the ovulation process. The cysts may be removed through surgery, which could be an open surgery or performed through laparoscopy. Laparoscopic surgery is much more convenient from the patient’s point of view, as they experience less pain and discomfort due to the smaller number of stitches and area of the incision. The surgery extracts cysts from one or two ovaries. The ovarian cyst should be removed if there are chances of it being cancerous, which might be the case in elderly women. It should also be removed if it is greater than 2.5 inches in diameter. The state of the cyst also matters. A cyst with solid components is much more dangerous than one which contains fluids. Another symptom that should not neglect is pain. If the cyst causes pain, then it should be removed as soon as possible.

Laparoscopy Surgery for Ovarian Cyst

Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Removal

Ovarian cysts are sacs that exist on the ovaries. These fill with fluids. The cysts are usually harmless and present in many females who are of reproductive age. The cysts may occur in one or both ovaries.

Two types Corpus Leuteum Cyst

It develops in the corpus luteum- the corpus luteum is a tissue that fills an empty follicle after ovulation. These cysts generally cause pain and bleeding.

Why Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy can give a clear view of the abdomen including the appendix, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach, liver, large or small intestine, spleen, and reproductive organs. As opposed to CT scans, X-Ray, and MRIs, laparoscopy offers a good internal view of the organs. The surgeon is thus able to get a clear picture of the internal organs. It is also helpful in ascertaining the presence of a tumour in the abdomen, diseases of the liver, and the presence of any fluid in the abdominal cavity.
