What is Laparoscopy? Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a surgical diagnostic procedure used to examine and operate on the organs inside the abdomen and pelvic area. It’s a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions. It can be used: Diagnose or treat endometriosis Diagnose or treat hydrosalpinx Assess female infertility Diagnose or remove ovarian cysts and tumors Take a biopsy (a small tissue sample) for testing Search for the causes of abdominal or pelvic pain When is the best time to have a Laparoscopy? If your periods are regular, your surgeon will likely recommend scheduling your Laparoscopy for the 1 to 7 days after you stop bleeding. This timing will allow the best view of the inside of your uterus. How is Laparoscopy performed? You’ll likely be given general anesthesia for this type of surgery. This means that you’ll sleep through the procedure and typically won’t feel any pain. To achieve general anesthesia, an intravenous (IV) line is inserted in one of your veins. Through the IV, your anesthesiologist can give you special medications and well as provide hydration with fluids. During a laparoscopy, the surgeon makes an incision below your belly button, and then inserts a small tube called a cannula. The cannula is used to inflate your abdomen with carbon dioxide gas. This gas allows your doctor to see your abdominal organs more clearly. Once your abdomen is inflated, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope through the incision. The camera attached to the laparoscope displays the images on a screen, allowing your organs to be viewed in real time. During a biopsy, they take a small sample of tissue from an organ to be evaluated. Instructions before Laparoscopy: Eat a light meal: soup the night before, don’t eat or drink anything after midnight Shower with soap but don’t use any lotion, after bathing, clean the inside of the navel completely with a swab dipped in shampoo. Drink 40 grams of Castor oil and Chew three Dimethicone tablets before going to bed Brush your teeth before you arrive but do not swallow any water. Remove ALL body piercings and jewelry No nail polish or acrylic nails Check in center with a companion at 7:30 AM If you need an ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries the day before the operation, the operating room nurse will coordinate with you. Bring all your medical documents, especially hysterosalpingography (the color photo of the uterus), the internal consultation sheet and chest X-ray, and blood test results. If you wear dentures or contact lenses, remove them or inform your nurse in advance Instructions after Laparoscopy: For the first day you will typically be required to consume only liquids, but by the second day, you will be able to resume your regular diet Your adhesive bandages on your abdomen can be removed the day after your operation. You will be advised if any sutures need to be removed and a daily shower is fine. Make sure that you dry the wound sites well. You can typically return to work three days after surgery. Use a sanitary pad (rather than a tampon) if you have slight vaginal bleeding after the procedure. You may require some pain relief after the procedure. You may require stronger pain relief (such as panadeine forte”) for a day or two after the operation, and milder pain relief (such as panadol) for a few days after that. You may also take voltaren or nurofen. You can resume driving about 24 hours after recovery from surgery, but it is not advisable to drive if you are still taking stronger pain relief (such as panadeine forte). You can resume sexual intercourse one week after the operation according to your level of comfort. In some cases it is advisable to wait longer, or until after you have stopped bleeding. Please take any prescribed medication according to the directions given. What are the side effects of Laparoscopy? It is normal to feel some abdominal discomfort and bloating after a laparoscopy. You may feel quite tender over your wound sites. The pain may be a dull constant pain or ‘period-like’ cramping. It should settle within 24-48 hours. It is quite common to feel pain in the tips of your shoulders (either one or both sides). This is normal and is due to the gas that was used to inflate your abdomen. Try walking. It is normal for Green urine sign after laparoscopic in the first hours after the operation, which is due to the dye injected into the uterus, and spotting and bleeding are normal up to a week after laparoscopy. You may feel groggy and disorientated as you recover or feel sick or vomit from the effects of the anesthetic. What are the risks of an abdominal Laparoscopy? After your procedure, it’s important to watch for any symptoms of infection. Contact your doctor if you experience: Fevers or chills more than 38C Abdominal pain that becomes more intense over time Redness or discoloration, swelling, bleeding, or drainage at the incision sites Continuous nausea or vomiting Shortness of breath Inability to urinate *If you have above symptoms you must call with our section (+98919963923).
