Laparoscopic Procedure

The laparoscopic procedure is carried out on a patient lying anaesthetised on an operation table in a lithotomy position. To start with, 2 to 3 keyhole incisions (0.5 to 1 cm) are made over the abdomen. The cut made in the umbilical area is used to insert a needle into the abdomen. The abdomen is inflated with harmless carbon dioxide gas to allow the surgeon to better visualise the inside and have enough space for performing surgery. Then, a laparoscope is carefully introduced through one of the incisions to inspect pelvic and abdominal organs for examining and visualising the causative factor of female infertility. If the procedure is done as a part of therapy, surgical tools are inserted through other cuts to operate.
