Diagnostic Laparoscopy - Gynecology Treatment

Diagnostic Laparoscopy

Diagnostic laparoscopy is an advanced and effective procedure to allow doctor to look directly into the abdomen or pelvis to:

• Find out reasons of fertility
• Examine a tissue mass
• Condition of the reproductive organs
• Progress of pregnancy
• Cause of pain in the pelvic and abdominal regions
• Confirm endometriosis
• Diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease
• Find out blockage of the fallopian tubes

A thin viewing tube similar to a telescope, known as the laparoscope, is passed through a small incision made in the abdomen. It helps the doctor to look directly at the:

• Uterus
• Reproductive organs
• Ovaries
• Fallopian tubes

Diagnostic laparoscopy is also recommended when diagnostic tests like ultrasound or X-ray fail to confirm the cause of a condition.
