Diagnostic Laparoscopy In Pune : Dr. Monika Thavare

Diagnostic laparoscopy refers to minimally invasive surgical procedures that are performed for the identification of any abnormalities present in your abdomen or pelvis. This procedure is usually done to check for any issues present in your abdomen or pelvic area, and if any abnormalities are found, they can be corrected in the same sitting. Diagnostic laparoscopy is an advanced procedure that uses a medical instrument known as a laparoscope, which has a camera to provide a magnified view of the internal organs on the TV screen or monitor. This diagnostic procedure is performed when non-invasive tests such as MRI, ultrasound, or other scans do not identify the causes of various gynaecological conditions, including ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, and infertility. This surgical procedure is also used to collect samples to evaluate reproductive organs in women.

When Is Diagnostic Laparoscopy Needed?

Diagnostic laparoscopy is typically recommended for patients who are experiencing pelvic pain and require further investigations. Here are some of the common symptoms that need further investigation. 

  • Persistent chronic abdominal pain
  • Struggling to conceive
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Abnormal imaging results from ultrasounds or other scans
  • Unexplained pelvic pain

What Conditions Require Diagnostic Laparoscopy?

Here are some of the gynaecological conditions which require diagnostic laparoscopy:

  • Endometriosis : A condition in which tissues similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus and cause pain and infertility.

  • PID : PID, or pelvic inflammatory disease, can cause pain and fertility issues. 

  • Ovarian cysts : Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries and lead to pain or discomfort. 

  • Ectopic Pregnancy : A pregnancy that does not occur inside the uterus, but grows in any of the fallopian tubes, which requires medical attention.

  • Tumours : Diagnostic laparoscopy is used to evaluate both benign and cancerous tumours. 

How To Prepare For Diagnostic Laparoscopy?

Preparation for diagnostic laparoscopy involves certain steps and instructions to ensure a safe and smooth procedure. This involves a detailed consultation with your healthcare provider where you will get a brief about the procedure, how it is performed, and the associated risks and benefits. 

You will be asked to fast for a specific time period, avoid any medications which may interfere, wear comfortable clothing, arrange someone to take you home, and undergo certain preoperative tests to ensure you are ready for the procedure.

What Happens During Diagnostic Laparoscopy?

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a step-by-step procedure that is performed after all the pre-operative instructions have been followed. During the procedure, you will be under the administration of general or local anaesthesia to ensure that you will remain pain-free and unconscious during the procedure. 

Once you are under the administration of anaesthesia, your healthcare provider will make small incisions in your abdomen to insert the laparoscope and to carefully examine the internal organs. If something unusual is found, such as cysts or adhesions, doctors enter other surgical instruments through the incisions to remove them.
