The Vital Role of Hysteroscopy in IVF: A Comprehensive Guide

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy & Ovarian Surgeries are minimally invasive gynecological procedures commonly used to treat various uterine and ovarian conditions. Here's a concise overview of both:

1. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus using a laparoscope — a thin, lighted tube inserted through small incisions in the abdomen.

Types:

  • Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) : Removes uterus and cervix.
  • Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH) : Removes uterus, leaves cervix.
  • Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) : Combines laparoscopy with vaginal approach.

Indications

  • Uterine fibroids
  • Heavy or irregular bleeding
  • Endometriosis
  • Uterine prolapse
  • Cancer (uterine, cervical, early-stage)

2. Laparoscopic Ovarian Surgeries

Laparoscopic ovarian surgery involves using small incisions to access and treat conditions affecting the ovaries.

Common Procedures:

  • Ovarian Cystectomy : Removal of cysts while preserving the ovary.
  • Oophorectomy : Removal of one or both ovaries.
  • Salpingo-oophorectomy : Removal of the ovary and fallopian tube.
  • Ovarian drilling : For polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
