This is medical techniques used to diagnose and sometimes treat various gynecological and reproductive health issues. Let's break down the procedures. it is a surgical procedure used to diagnose uterine fibroids or those similar growths that occur in the womb. The procedure, which helps in diagnosing uterine fibroids, is called hystero-laparoscopy. The doctor inserts a laparoscope called a cannula through a small hole in a woman & abdomen during this procedure. This cannula is equipped with a light that enables the doctor to see the uterus & different areas.

Diagnostic Hysteroscopy Purpose

Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of a woman's uterus (the womb) and the cervical canal.

Indications

It is typically performed to investigate and diagnose conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, unexplained pelvic pain, recurrent miscarriages, infertility, and to evaluate the uterine cavity before certain fertility treatments.

Procedure

• The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis and may not require general anesthesia. Local anesthesia or sedation may be used.
• A thin, flexible hysteroscope (a long, narrow tube with a light and camera) is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
• The camera provides a live video feed, allowing the doctor to visualize the uterine lining and any abnormalities.
• If necessary, minor surgical procedures like the removal of polyps or fibroids can be performed during the same procedure.

Diagnostic Laparoscopy Purpose

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and diagnose problems within the abdominal and pelvic areas.

Procedure

• The patient is placed under general anesthesia.
• The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen, typically around the navel, and inserts a laparoscope, which is a thin, lighted tube with a camera.
• Carbon dioxide gas is used to inflate the abdominal cavity, which creates space and allows the surgeon to see the pelvic organs clearly.
• The camera provides a view of the pelvic organs on a monitor, and the surgeon can identify and diagnose any abnormalities.
li>If necessary, additional small incisions can be made to perform surgical procedures, such as removing ovarian cysts, treating endometriosis, or addressing tubal blockages.
