Understanding Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, involves performing procedures through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera called a laparoscope. This advanced technique allows for enhanced visualization and precision while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in faster recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery.
Our Laparoscopic Services
Dr Lauren holds the highest qualification in Australia for minimally invasive surgery completing an AGES fellowship. She offers comprehensive laparoscopic surgery services, including:
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy: Dr Lauren performs diagnostic laparoscopy to evaluate the pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures, for any abnormalities or conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. This procedure allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues.
- Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy: For women with ovarian cysts that require surgical removal, Dr Lauren performs laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. This procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen to access the ovary and remove the cyst while preserving ovarian function and fertility. Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
