Laparoscopic Gynaecological Surgery in Jaipur
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery treats gynaecological conditions through incisions of about half a centimetre, guided by a high-definition camera. Compared with open surgery it means less pain, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and a far quicker return to normal life. Dr. Vibha Chaturvedi Sharma holds a dedicated Fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery and has performed over 35,000 gynaecological surgeries and procedures.
Conditions treated laparoscopically
- Uterine fibroids, via laparoscopic myomectomy that preserves the uterus and future fertility.
- Ovarian cysts and endometriomas, removed while protecting healthy ovarian tissue.
- Endometriosis and pelvic adhesions, treated by excision.
- Ectopic pregnancy, tubal disease, and hysterectomy where it is indicated.
Before your surgery
- A pre-operative consultation covers your history, medication, allergies and anaesthetic fitness.
- Blood tests, ECG and imaging are arranged, and blood thinners are adjusted in advance where relevant.
- You will fast for 6 to 8 hours before the procedure, and arrange for someone to accompany you home.
During the procedure
- Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on complexity.
- Carbon dioxide gas creates working space, and instruments are passed through two to four small ports.
- The operation is carried out under magnified HD vision, which improves precision around delicate structures.
After your surgery
- Shoulder-tip discomfort from residual gas is common for a day or two and settles on its own.
- Walking within a few hours of surgery speeds recovery and lowers clot risk.
- Keep incisions clean and dry, avoid heavy lifting for two to four weeks, and attend the planned review.
- Contact the clinic promptly for fever, heavy bleeding, severe pain or redness around an incision.
Laparoscopic Surgery — frequently asked questions
How long is the hospital stay for laparoscopic surgery?
Most laparoscopic gynaecological procedures involve a single overnight stay, and some are day-care. This compares with five to seven days after equivalent open surgery.
Will laparoscopic surgery leave visible scars?
The incisions are about 5 to 10 mm and usually fade to faint marks that are difficult to see once healed.
Is keyhole surgery safe for large fibroids?
In experienced hands, yes — large and multiple fibroids are routinely removed laparoscopically. Suitability is confirmed by imaging and assessed individually before surgery.
