Laproscopic Treatment

Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis - the procedure

Laparoscopy is usually performed under general anaesthesia. You will be asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Dr Ibrahim makes a small incision in your abdomen, typically in the belly button. Using a cannula, the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas. The abdomen filled with gas provides a clear visualization of the inner area.

Now, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope attached to a camera to visualize your internal organs on the screen. They make additional small incisions to insert thin surgical instruments.

The surgeon removes the endometriosis scar tissue and lesions around the organs using excision or ablation. After removing the tissues, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches. If the endometriosis involves a significant portion of the bowel then the surgery can be carried out in conjunction with a laparoscopic bowel surgeon.

Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis - Recovery phase

After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery space until the effect of your anaesthetic wears off. You may feel some discomfort immediately after the surgery. Patients experience nausea, mild vaginal bleeding, pain at the incision site, soreness in the abdomen, and mood swings.

Depending on the surgery, recovery will take 2 weeks. You can resume your daily activities after 2 weeks. You can shower after 24 hours, but be careful to keep your incision site clean and dry.
