What is laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery?

In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon operates through three or four small cuts, usually 5 to 10 mm long, instead of one large incision. A thin camera shows the inside of your abdomen on a screen, and fine instruments are used to do the operation with great precision.

Conditions that can be treated

Where suitable, laparoscopy can be used for:

  • fibroids (myomectomy)
  • ovarian cysts (cystectomy)
  • endometriosis
  • ectopic pregnancy
  • hysterectomy for non-cancerous conditions
  • tubal surgery and sterilisation
  • pelvic adhesions
  • diagnostic laparoscopy for infertility or long-lasting pelvic pain

What to expect

  1. Consultation and testsYour doctor examines you and advises an ultrasound, blood tests and an anaesthesia check.
  2. Admission and preparationYou are told when to stop eating and drinking, and which medicines to continue.
  3. The operationDone under general anaesthesia, through small cuts, with the abdomen gently inflated with gas to create working space.
  4. RecoveryMany women go home within a day or two and return to light activities within days to a couple of weeks, depending on the operation. Your surgeon will give you specific advice.
  5. Follow-upA check-up to review your recovery and any reports.

Is keyhole surgery right for me?

Keyhole surgery suits most gynaecological operations, but not every case. Very large growths, extensive scarring from earlier surgery or some other conditions may need open surgery. If a keyhole operation cannot be completed safely, the surgeon may switch to an open operation, and this is explained to you in advance.

Risks. All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs and problems related to anaesthesia. Serious complications are uncommon, and your surgeon will discuss the benefits and risks specific to you before you decide.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Is laparoscopic surgery safe?
In experienced hands, laparoscopic surgery is safe and widely used for many gynaecological conditions. Like any operation it has risks, which your surgeon will explain before you decide.
How long is the recovery after laparoscopic surgery?
It depends on the operation. Many women walk the same or next day, go home within a day or two and return to light activities within a week or two. Your surgeon will give you specific advice.
Will I have visible scars?
The cuts are small, usually 5 to 10 mm, and fade well, so scars are much less noticeable than after open surgery.
Can fibroids be removed without a big cut?
Often yes. Many fibroids can be removed laparoscopically, depending on their size, number and position. Your doctor will advise you after an ultrasound.
Is hysterectomy possible by keyhole surgery?
Yes, for many non-cancerous conditions a hysterectomy can be done laparoscopically. Whether it is right for you depends on your condition and your health.
How much does laparoscopic surgery cost?
The cost depends on the operation, your health and the length of your hospital stay. We explain the expected cost clearly before any procedure, with no hidden fees. Call or WhatsApp 97505 11225 for details.
