Endoscopic surgery: hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

-

Endoscopy is a technique that involves inserting an optical system or endoscope (tube with lighting connected to a video camera and a television monitor) through the abdominal wall or natural orifices to observe the interior of an organ or cavity. The information obtained through this technique is more reliable than that provided by physical examinations, ultrasound or radiological techniques.

Next you have an index with all the points that we are going to treat in this article.

Endoscopic surgery: hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

Until recently, these procedures were used for a purely diagnostic purpose, but nowadays they also allow the correct treatment of gynecological pathologies in a less aggressive way. This technique requires hospitalization for a few hours, allowing to return to the patient's home the same day of the intervention.

Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery

Endoscopic surgery is considered the technique of choice in certain cases due to the following advantages:

  • Hospitalization for a few hours, that is, you can return to the home the same day.
  • Minor discomfort compared to conventional surgery, since the patient avoids modifying her usual work and social activity.
  • Better esthetic results than conventional surgery.
  • It causes less hemorrhage and loss of the kidneys, which in turn reduces the formation of adhesions.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a technique that is used to diagnose and treat pathologies of the uterine cavity. To do this, a small optic is inserted through the cervix and through saline serum we can dilate and observe the inside of the uterus. Depending on the type of hysteroscope, the hysteroscopy will be diagnostic or surgical.

Diagnostic hysteroscopy

The objective of diagnostic hysteroscopy is by means of small interventions and biopsies, to diagnose the intracavitary pathology. It is indicated in case of suspicion of uterine adhesions, endometrial polyps, fibroids, uterine septa, IUD extraction and other devices, in cases of infertility, menstrual alterations, implantation failures, endometrial cavity before assisted reproduction treatment, etc.

Surgical hysteroscopy

In this case, the hysteroscope is thicker and hysteroscopy is required in the operating room because it requires cervical dilatation and therefore sedation. It is indicated in cases of submucous myomas or large polyps.

Laparoscopy

Allows visualization of the abdominal cavity in a non-invasive way. To do this, CO2, an inert gas for tissues, is instilled to allow visualization of all organs of the abdominal cavity by the introduction of an optical system.

The objective of this technique is to diagnose and solve any problem that is detected during the course of the intervention. The main indications of this technique are: the study of sterility, the diagnosis of uterine malformations, pelvic pain, tubal ligation, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and masses, ectopic pregnancy, oophorectomy, myomectomy, salpingectomy, ovarian drilling, hysterectomy, etc.

In this technique you can return to the routine in 48-72 hours.
