Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery: Laparoscopy at Aadityacare Maternity Home
Gynaecological Laparoscopic Surgery
Gynaecological laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions related to the female reproductive system. Often referred to as “keyhole surgery,” this approach involves small incisions in the abdomen, offering patients quicker recovery times and reduced complications compared to traditional open surgery.
According to the World Health Organization, gynecological disorders account for a significant proportion of global health concerns, impacting millions of women annually. Laparoscopy has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, enabling precision and efficiency in care.

- Infertility Evaluation: Assessing potential causes of infertility.
- Ectopic Pregnancy Management: Treating pregnancies that develop outside the uterus.
- Sterilization: Performing tubal ligation (female sterilization).
- Oncology: Assessing and managing certain reproductive organ cancers.
