What You Wonder About Laparoscopy Ankara
This procedure, which provides a clear view of the uterus and abdominal organs, is one of our most preferred surgical treatment methods thanks to the convenience it provides to the patient after surgery. You can contact Op. Dr. Aslıhan Yazıcıoğlu for information about laparoscopy and other gynecological treatment methods.
What is Laparoscopy? How is it done?
Laparoscopy is one of today's modern surgical methods. During the procedure, a micro-sized "laparoscope" is inserted into the abdomen through the belly button. With this device, all problems in the abdomen and uterus can be clearly visualized. Thanks to the high-resolution image provided by the laparoscope device, it is possible to detect infertility problems of unknown cause or intrauterine adhesions that cannot be fully observed. It is also possible to perform treatment while observing with the laparoscope. This is one of the biggest advantages of laparoscopy. Since both diagnosis and treatment can be performed and there are no deep incisions like in open surgery, it is a more preferred method. Laparoscopy is more preferred today because it provides a shorter hospital stay and minimizes the risk of infection and the duration of surgery, especially in overweight patients.
What are the Advantages of Laparoscopy?
As it is known, the biggest advantage of laparoscopy is that it is performed closed. In other words, deep and large incisions are not made as in open surgery. Only thin incisions of a few centimeters are made. Diagnosis and treatment are performed through these incisions. This not only eliminates the aesthetic anxiety that may occur due to surgical incisions, but also shortens the patient's recovery time. Closed surgery is more reliable than open surgery, especially in obese or diabetic patients, as there may be problems with wound healing. Since the wound healing process is much longer after open surgery, the risk of infection increases. Laparoscopy is a practical method of surgery where the risk of infection is very low and the patient can be discharged within a few days.
- The hospital stay after laparoscopy surgery is much shorter.
- Wounds are easier to heal after surgery and wounds heal more quickly.
- The short time to return to work, especially in working patients, is one of the most positive aspects of laparoscopy.
- Diagnosis and treatment can be performed together. For this reason, the treatment and recovery time of the patient can be shortened by performing treatment at the same time in the procedure started only for diagnostic purposes.
What types of treatments can be performed with laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery is one of the most commonly used surgical methods in gynecology. Many operations that were performed with open surgery in the past can now be performed with laparoscopy within hours. The operation is usually completed in 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Depending on the content of the operation, the patient can be discharged the same day or the next day. The most common procedures we perform using laparoscopy method within the scope of gynecological surgeries;
- Diagnosis and treatment of fibroids and cysts
- Endometriosis
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Connecting the tubes
- Laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).
