Laparoscopy
Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine is always at the forefront of technological advancements, using procedures such as laparoscopy in gynecology and obstetrics.
Our advanced laparoscopic services provide the benefits of minimally invasive, low-risk surgery. They also help patients avoid many of the challenges associated with traditional surgical procedures.
Read on to find out more about this technique and its unique benefits.
Understanding Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis. The procedure uses a laparoscope, a thin tube fitted with a high-resolution camera and light. Our surgeons insert the tube through small incisions to view internal organs in real time on a video monitor.
This approach allows our team to examine organs closely, collect tissue samples, and perform surgery with precision, all without large incisions. Additional small instruments can be introduced through separate incisions to perform treatment in parallel with diagnosis, when needed.
Benefits of Laparoscopy
Using this approach offers numerous benefits:
Laparoscopy makes it possible to perform procedures that would otherwise require large incisions. It gives patients access to effective surgical treatment with far less physical impact.
When used for surgery, it causes less tissue damage than traditional methods, resulting in less pain and faster recovery. A considerable number of our patients who undergo this procedure can go home the same day or the day after.
In some instances, non-invasive diagnostic methods such as MRI scans and ultrasounds do not provide the insights needed for an accurate diagnosis. Our team uses this approach to get the clarity they require to diagnose gynecologic issues, getting a close-up view of organs for precision and accuracy.
The use of small incisions reduces exposure to your internal organs, reducing the risk of infection. Overall, it is much safer than traditional methods and results in better outcomes.
This minimally invasive technique results in very little post-operative scarring. In addition to providing a better cosmetic outcome, this also reduces the risk of complications arising from scar tissue formation.
Advanced Laparoscopy Services We Offer
Our team of doctors at Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine uses advanced laparoscopic techniques to perform diagnostic procedures and treatments.
Certain symptoms that may call for the use of laparoscopic diagnosis include chronic pelvic pain and inflammation, unexplained infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss. It often leads to the diagnosis of ovarian tumors and cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, various forms of cancer, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
We perform laparoscopic surgeries in diverse situations that traditionally require open surgery. These include the removal of ectopic pregnancies, tubal ligation, endometriosis surgery, vaginal reconstruction, hysterectomy (uterus removal), and removal of cysts and uterine fibroids.
We use this procedure to collect tissue samples from areas showing signs of anomalous cell growth. This comes in handy when we need samples from difficult-to-reach areas within the pelvis. In such cases, it might offer higher precision than other procedures typically used for pelvic biopsies.

The duration varies depending on the procedure’s purpose. A diagnostic laparoscopy may take 30 to 45 minutes, while a surgical procedure can take longer, depending on complexity. We discuss timing with you in detail during your consultation.
Most laparoscopic procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Our team reviews your medical history and discusses anesthesia options with you in advance.
Many patients return to light activities within a few days. More involved surgical procedures may require one to two weeks of recovery. We offer personalized postoperative guidance tailored to your procedure.
Laparoscopy is suitable for many, but not all, conditions. Our physicians evaluate your symptoms, imaging results, and health history to determine whether this approach is right for you.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including bleeding, infection, and anesthetic-related reactions. Serious complications are uncommon. Our team takes every precaution to minimize risk and monitors you closely throughout your care.
