How Is Laparoscopic Surgery Performed?
Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes 3 to 4 small incisions of less than 1cm in the abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas is used to gently inflate the abdominal cavity, creating space to work. A thin camera (laparoscope) is inserted through one incision and surgical instruments through the others.
The surgeon views a magnified, high-definition image of the pelvic organs on a screen and performs the procedure with precision. For fertility-sparing procedures, every effort is made to preserve healthy ovarian tissue, the fallopian tubes and the uterine lining.
Pre-Operative Preparation for Laparoscopic Surgery
Your specialist will request blood tests including a complete blood count, coagulation profile, fasting glucose and group and crossmatch before surgery. An anaesthesia fitness assessment is standard. You will be asked to fast for 6 to 8 hours before the procedure.
If you take blood thinners or hormonal medications, inform your surgeon at least two weeks before the date. Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you on the day, as you will be under general anaesthesia.
Post-Operative Recovery: What to Expect
| Recovery Phase | Timeline | What to Expect |
| Immediate post-op | First 4 to 6 hours | Drowsy; mild pain; IV pain relief given |
| First 24 hours at home | Day 1 | Rest; liquid diet; mild shoulder pain from CO2 gas |
| Return to light activity | Day 3 to 5 | Short walks; soft diet; minimal lifting |
| Return to desk work | Day 3 to 7 | Depending on procedure complexity |
| Full physical activity | 2 to 6 weeks | No gym or strenuous exercise until cleared |
| Attempting conception after fertility surgery | 1 to 6 months | Depends on procedure; specialist will advise |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is laparoscopic surgery safe for fertility?
In experienced hands, laparoscopic surgery preserves or improves fertility in the vast majority of cases. The risk to ovarian reserve and the fallopian tubes is significantly lower with laparoscopic techniques compared to open surgery.
Q: How long does laparoscopic gynaecological surgery take?
Procedure duration varies: diagnostic laparoscopy takes 30 to 45 minutes; ovarian cystectomy and ovarian drilling take 45 to 90 minutes; complex endometriosis excision or myomectomy may take 90 to 180 minutes.
Q: Will I have scars after laparoscopic surgery?
Yes, but they are small. Most patients have 3 to 4 scars of 5 to 10mm that fade significantly over 6 to 12 months and are barely visible.
Q: Is laparoscopy covered by health insurance in India?
Most standard health insurance policies in India cover laparoscopic gynaecological surgery as a surgical inpatient or day-care procedure. Check your policy for specific exclusions and pre-authorisation requirements.
Q: What is the difference between laparoscopy and hysteroscopy?
Laparoscopy views and operates outside and around the uterus (ovaries, tubes, pelvic cavity) through abdominal incisions. Hysteroscopy views and operates inside the uterine cavity through the cervix without any incision.
