Laparoscopic & Hysteroscopic (Keyhole) Surgery
Get minimally invasive fertility treatments with faster recovery, and successful pregnancy without IVF.
What Is Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery?
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery where a small telescope (laparoscope) is inserted through tiny incisions (0.5-1 cm) in the abdomen. This allows your doctor to examine and treat reproductive organs such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures.
A dye test may be used to check if your fallopian tubes are open, and conditions like endometriosis or adhesions can be diagnosed or treated during the same procedure.
Polycystic ovaries (PCO)
What Is Hysteroscopic Surgery?
Hysteroscopy involves inserting a thin telescope through the vagina and cervix to look inside the uterus. It helps diagnose and treat:
- Uterine polyps, fibroids, or adenomyosis
- Uterine adhesions (scar tissue)
- Uterine septum (a congenital abnormality)
- Abnormal or heavy bleeding
Your doctor will take a tissue sample (biopsy) for further examination by a Pathologist.
Intrauterine fibroids
When Is Keyhole Surgery Recommended?
Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are often advised for:
- Suspected endometriosis
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding
- Recurrent miscarriages
These procedures are often performed together for a complete fertility evaluation and treatment.
What to Expect
- Surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia
- Most patients go home the same day
- You may experience mild cramping or slight vaginal bleeding, which typically resolves in a few days
- Full recovery may take 2–7 days, or longer in rare cases
Benefits of Laparoscopic & Hysteroscopic Surgery
- Less pain and faster recovery
- Minimal scarring due to small incisions
- Lower risk of bleeding and infection
- No overnight hospital stay in most cases
- Can often improve fertility outcomes
- Single procedure can result in more subsequent pregnancies
When to Schedule Surgery
Surgery is best scheduled between Day 6 and Day 10 of your menstrual cycle for optimal results and minimal bleeding risk.
