ENDOSCOPY VARIANTS:
LAPAROSCOPY:
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure or keyhole procedure is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their locations through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body. It is used to find and treat problems such as cysts, adhesions, fibroids and endometriosis. Tissue samples can be taken for biopsy through the tube (laparoscope).
Benefits of Laparoscopy
- To diagnose tubal factor infertility especially when used with a dye test
- To remove adhesion bands around the tubes and/or ovaries
- To remove or burn-off endometriotic deposits anywhere found, tubes, ovaries, cul-de-sac, e.t.c, wherever possible
- Sometimes to treat anovulation due to a polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) by drilling holes in the ovaries
- Sometimes to remove fibroids
- Quicker recovery and better satisfaction
HYSTEROSCOPY
This is the inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy with access through the cervix. It allows for the diagnosis of intrauterine pathology (diagnostic hysteroscopy) and serves as a method for surgical intervention (operative hysteroscopy). A hysteroscope which is an endoscope that carries optical and light channels or fibres is introduced in a sheath that provides an inflow and outflow channel for distension of the uterine cavity. In addition, an operative channel may be present to introduce scissors, graspers or biopsy instruments.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
- To diagnose and treat Asherman’s Syndrome i.e adhesion bands inside the uterine cavity where embryos implant and babies grow.
- To diagnose and treat submucous fibroid or endometrial polyps found in the uterine cavity
- To dilate the cervix in cases of cervical stenosis
- Removal of embedded IUD
- To correct septum dividing the uterine canal
