Laparoscopy

Although surgery is injury to the body, even if it is necessary. Therefore, both doctors and patients are so appreciated the possibility of laparoscopy, effective diagnostic and surgical method developed in 70-80 years of 20 century.

The fact that laparoscopy avoids several centimeter holes instead of the traditional incision across the abdominal wall. This allows you to minimize blood loss, postoperative stress and risk of infection. After a laparoscopy there is less scarring - this means that the outside will be intact skin without cosmetic defects, but the inside will not be actively developed adhesions.

How is it done? First, using a special thin needle into the abdominal cavity is fed carbon dioxide, which spreads its soft internal organs and provides them a convenient and secure access. Then, in a small hole is introduced laparoscope - a miniature video camera connected to an optical cable and a special "cold" illumination, does not burn tissue. The surgeon sees the operative field on a monitor, if necessary, and even with an increase of 6-10 times. In other holes are introduced surgical manipulators. When laparoscopy may be very precise and accurate intervention. For example, when myoma it does not remove the whole uterus entirely, but simply to remove the tumor sites of its walls. Therefore, this procedure can be done if necessary, even during pregnancy. If the operation is taking place without complications, patients are allowed to stand on the same day, a few hours, but 2-3 days is already possible to return to normal life.

Another advantage of the method - diagnostic possibilities. Some diseases, such as endometriosis, generally can not be reliably identified without laparoscopy. With this technique, and find out the causes of infertility, unless they can find common ways.

In gynecology and reproductive medicine, laparoscopy is used most extensively, and is also used to strengthen the ligaments in the deletion of the pelvic floor and viscera. In addition, using laparoscopic techniques can solve the age problem with urinary incontinence and to remove other urogenital diseases.
