Laparoscopic Surgery for Infertility
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts, tubal disease and ovarian drilling, used where a structural cause of infertility is identified.
Who this is for
Women with a diagnosed or suspected structural cause of infertility, including endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts, tubal blockage, or PCOS/PMOS where ovulation has not responded to medication.
Conditions treated
| Condition | How laparoscopy helps |
|---|---|
| Endometriosis | Removal or ablation of endometriotic deposits and associated adhesions |
| Pelvic adhesions | Division of scar tissue restoring normal pelvic anatomy |
| Ovarian cysts | Removal of the cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue where possible |
| Tubal disease | Assessment of tubal patency, and repair or removal where a tube is damaged |
| PCOS/PMOS, drug-resistant | Ovarian drilling to help restore ovulation |
Evaluation
Diagnosis is built from pelvic ultrasound, tubal patency testing and clinical history. Laparoscopy is recommended where these point to a structural cause that is unlikely to resolve with medication alone, following the principle that the simplest effective treatment is tried first.
The procedure
- 1
Pre-operative assessment
Fitness for anaesthesia is confirmed and the surgical plan is discussed in detail.
- 2
Laparoscopic surgery
Performed under general anaesthesia through a few small incisions, using a camera and fine instruments.
- 3
Recovery in hospital
Most patients are discharged the same day or the following day.
Fever, worsening pain, or heavy bleeding after surgery should be reported promptly.
Recovery and aftercare
Most women return to light activity within a few days and normal activity within one to two weeks, depending on what was treated. A follow-up consultation reviews the surgical findings and discusses the next step toward conception, whether that is trying naturally or proceeding to IUI or IVF.
