Types of Laparoscopy Surgery

Hysterectomy:
Hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. It helps prevent future pregnancy as well as reduces fibroid-related bleeding and pressure symptoms.

Laparoscopic removal of endometriosis:
Our medical experience tells us that much better outcomes are got when endometriosis is excised (remove) , rather than cauterized or lasered, whenever there is the slightest hint that the disease goes deeper than the most superficial layers of pelvic tissue.

Laparoscopic removal of ovarian cysts:
Ovarian cysts up to 10 cm (3.5 inches) in diameter are routinely removed laparoscopically in our division.

Laparoscopic removal of adhesions (scar tissue):
When careful evaluation has proven that adhesions may play a role in a person's abdominal or pelvic pain , we sometimes recommend laparoscopic surgery to try to reduce the amount of adhesions present.

Laparoscopic removal of a tube and ovary:
When an ovary is too involved with a disease process to salvage, it is generally easy to cut it away using laparoscopic techniques.

Myomectomy:

Myomectomy is the surgical removal of uterine fibroids without the removal of the uterus.

Laparoscopic uterine suspension:
In about 15-20% of women, the top end of the uterus leans back toward the backbone, instead of leaning forward , toward the bladder.

Laparoscopic bladder support surgery:
Many different surgeries have been produced to deal with "stress incontinence," or loss of urine during coughing, laughing, or any other physical activity.

Endometrial ablation (for heavy periods):
There are now about 8 different approved techniques for applying some form of energy to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) in order to reduce the amount of menstrual flow for a person who has regular, but quite heavy, periods.
