October 4th, 2008 Posted by: admin
If you think you are suffering or have been diagnosed with endometriosis, the first thing you need to do is consult a doctor for proper treatment. One of the popular treatments is the Laparoscopy treatment. There are many high quality Laparoscopy Hospitals where you can get the treatment done.
How is the surgery done?
The procedure starts with a small opening in the stomach so as to fill it with gas such as carbon dioxide. After this, a laparoscope, which is usually a long slender microscope, will be inserted to observe the inside of your abdomen. The body is kept in slightly tilted position so that the feet are raised a bit higher than the head. This helps in keeping the abdomen organs towards the chest and clearing the concerned area. Then, the doctor will remove cysts, adhesions, scar tissues or any abnormal areas that is causing the trouble. This removal is usually done by laser, excision or electrocautery methods such as diathermy.
The methods that the surgeon applies depend on many factors like:
• The quantity and type of cysts, scar tissues or nodules found.
• The patient choice of removal.
• The surgeon’s experience and the Laparoscopic Training Program he attended.
• The available equipments for the surgery.
After the removal of the cysts or nodules, the instrument is removed and the gas is released in order to bring back the abdomen to its normal size. And finally the incision will be stitched and dressed.
