Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis in Kathmandu
Minimally invasive surgical treatment to remove endometriosis lesions and restore quality of life.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also called keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat endometriosis. A thin telescope (laparoscope) with a camera is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen, allowing the surgeon to visualize and remove endometriosis lesions, cysts, and adhesions.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery
- ✓Smaller incisions (3-4 tiny cuts vs large abdominal incision)
- ✓Less pain and scarring
- ✓Faster recovery (1-2 weeks vs 4-6 weeks)
- ✓Shorter hospital stay (1-2 days)
- ✓Better visualization of pelvic organs
- ✓Can improve fertility outcomes

The Procedure
1. Preparation
General anesthesia is administered. Small incisions (5-10mm) are made in the abdomen.
2. Visualization
Carbon dioxide gas inflates the abdomen for better visibility. Laparoscope with camera is inserted to examine pelvic organs.
3. Treatment
