Dear Antony Throughout a Laparoscopic procedure, endometrial implants can be easily seen once these implants reach a reasonable size. The implants which are still tiny can't be seen by the human eye alone. For an accurate proper diagnosis of Endometriosis, small biopsies ought to be obtained during laparoscopy. A biopsy may be the removal of tiny tissue samples for examination within microscope. Some biopsies can have that Endometriosis can be seen, even though no endometrial implants are actually visible during the laparoscopy. For this reason it is important to have a biopsy done when you have a laparoscopy, because some Endometrial implants can be microscopic Laparoscopy for Treatment of Endometriosis The same process of the diagnosis of Endometriosis, can be used during surgical treatment of Endometriosis. Your surgeon may go ahead and employ further surgical processes to treat endometrial implants throughout the first operation which has confirmed the diagnosis of Endometriosis. This usually necessitates the need for a second small incision in the abdomen so that additional surgical instruments could be inserted.

Laparoscopic surgery necessitates the utilization of various instruments to perform different repairs to any damaged tissue and organs brought on by Endometriosis. Diathermy, which uses an electric current, may be used to divide tissue in addition to coagulate tissue, particularly arteries to manage any bleeding. Light energy in the form of lasers could also be used. Laser facial treatment may be used to ‘burn’ endometrial cysts and also to cut away adhesions. The benefit of laser surgery would be that the effect from the laser is very precise and reduces injury. With regards Sadhana |
