At Cocoon Hospital, our Gynaecological department is fully equipped to offer Laparoscopy, which is an advanced Minimally Invasive surgical technique.
Our experienced Gynaecologists prefer the Laparoscopic “keyhole” approach tailored to your condition to look inside your stomach or pelvis. This ensures minimal discomfort, quicker healing, optimal outcomes, and better fertility outcomes compared with Open Surgery.
Understanding Laparoscopy
A Laparoscopy is a Surgical technique that lets a surgeon look inside your body without making a large incision (cut). Our experts recommend it to help diagnose and sometimes treat conditions that develop in your belly or pelvis.
Laparoscopy is sometimes called "minimally invasive surgery" or "keyhole surgery" because it involves making smaller cuts than traditional, "open" surgery.
Benefits of Laparoscopy
Here are the key benefits:
- Minimally invasive (meaning small incision, usually 0.5 to 1.5 cm)
- Shorter hospital stays
- Less pain during healing
- Faster recovery and smaller scars
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss and a lower risk of hemorrhage
Types of Laparoscopy Procedures at Cocoon Hospital
Our surgeons are experienced in performing both methods to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions.
| Methods | Details |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic Laparoscopy | Performed to examine the abdominal or pelvic organs when imaging tests are inconclusive. It helps identify causes of pelvic or abdominal pain, infections, cysts, tumors, adhesions, or internal bleeding. |
| Operative Laparoscopy | Used to treat conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroids, or hernias, and to perform procedures including biopsies or organ removal using minimally invasive surgical techniques. |
Here are the subtypes of laparoscopy procedures recommended in various conditions.
| Subtype | Details |
|---|---|
| Laparoscopic Hysterectomy | A minimally invasive procedure to remove the uterus for conditions such as fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, adenomyosis, or gynecologic cancers. It may be performed as a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix) or partial hysterectomy (cervix preserved). Compared with open surgery, it generally offers less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery. |
| Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy | A minimally invasive surgery to remove ovarian cysts while preserving healthy ovarian tissue and function. It is commonly recommended for persistent cysts, pelvic pain, irregular periods, PCOS-related complications, or fertility concerns. |
| Laparoscopic Myomectomy | A fertility-preserving procedure used to remove uterine fibroids while keeping the uterus intact. Fibroids are separated from the uterine wall and removed through small “keyhole” incisions. |
| Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery | Used to remove or destroy endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus, helping relieve pelvic pain, inflammation, adhesions, and infertility associated with endometriosis while preserving reproductive organs whenever possible. |
| Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation | A permanent contraception procedure in which the fallopian tubes are sealed, clipped, or cut to prevent pregnancy. It is considered a highly effective minimally invasive sterilization method. |
| Laparoscopic Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery | A minimally invasive procedure to remove an ectopic pregnancy, most commonly from the fallopian tube. The approach aims to treat the condition promptly while preserving fertility and minimizing damage to surrounding tissues whenever feasible. |

Is a Laparoscopy a major surgery ?
Laparoscopy is a Minimally Invasive procedure, but that doesn’t always mean it’s a minor surgery. It can still be considered major surgery depending on the operation performed.
What are the risks of Laparoscopy Surgery?
Laparoscopy is a very safe procedure. But doctors still consider it a major surgery, and it can cause the following possible complications:
- Bleeding from the incision
- Injury to neighboring organs and blood vessels
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Infection
- Abdominal swelling
- Blood clots could enter your bloodstream
