Laparoscopy
Safe and Swift Treatment with Minimal Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopy
What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in gynecological conditions. It is performed through small incisions compared to traditional open surgeries. This results in shorter recovery times, reduced postoperative pain, and allows patients to return to their daily lives faster. At our clinic, Dr. Yeliz Akçelik utilizes laparoscopic surgery with state-of-the-art equipment.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
In laparoscopic surgery, a small incision is made in the abdominal area, and the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to enhance visibility of internal organs. Procedures are then performed using a laparoscope (a small camera) and specialized surgical instruments.
When is it Used?
For Diagnosis: In diagnosing conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or other pelvic issues.
For Treatment: In treating conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, tubal blockages, and ectopic pregnancies.
Sterilization: For birth control procedures like tubal ligation.
Other Surgeries: Including hysterectomy, oophorectomy, bowel surgery, or appendectomy.
Advantages of Laparoscopy
Less Pain: Minimal incisions result in minimal postoperative pain.
Shorter Recovery Time: Patients are usually discharged within 1-2 days and return to their normal activities shortly thereafter.
Minimal Scarring: Instead of large incision scars, minimal scar tissue remains.
Less Bleeding: Reduced risk of bleeding and complications compared to open surgeries.
