Laparoscopic surgery uses a small camera and fine instruments passed through tiny cuts. It is used for many gynaecological and fertility-related conditions when suitable, and often means less pain and quicker recovery than open surgery.
Conditions where it may be used
- Ovarian cysts and endometriosis
- Fibroids in suitable cases
- Pelvic adhesions and tubal problems
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Hysterectomy in selected patients
Is it right for you?
Not every patient is suitable for keyhole surgery. Your surgeon will explain the best approach after examination and imaging.
