What Is Laparoscopic Surgery in Gynecology?

Laparoscopic surgery utilizes a laparoscope—an advanced instrument equipped with a camera—to view pelvic organs through small abdominal incisions. This technique allows for the performance of complex procedures while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Diagnostic laparoscopic surgery is particularly valuable for identifying the underlying causes of symptoms such as pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. During this procedure, your provider may conduct a biopsy or remove fibroids and lesions as necessary.

Surgery may be anxiety-inducing for some of our patients, which is why our providers at UWH of The Carolinas work together to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the process. We are committed to helping you receive the care you need.

Why Might I Need Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a tool for diagnosing and treating many medical issues, including gynecological conditions. Your provider may use laparoscopic surgery to treat or diagnose the following:

  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroids
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders
  • Ectopic Pregnancy
  • Ovarian Cysts
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain

What Are the Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery?

Compared to traditional open surgical procedures, laparoscopic surgery offers numerous advantages for our patients:

  • Reduced pain due to smaller incisions
  • Faster recovery time and a quicker return to daily activities
  • Minimal scarring, resulting in improved aesthetic outcomes
  • Lower risk of infection and internal bleeding

This approach allows you to receive the care you need with minimal disruption to your daily life. Your provider will offer detailed guidance on post-surgical recovery, including when you can resume your regular activities.
