Laparoscopy for Infertility is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions that may be affecting a person's ability to conceive. It involves inserting a thin, lighted instrument called a laparoscope through a small incision in the abdomen to examine the pelvic organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Endometriosis
Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
Ovarian cysts or abnormalities
Fibroids on the outside of the uterus
Additional small incisions may be made to insert surgical tools.
The surgeon examines the reproductive organs and may treat problems (e.g., removing endometriosis or adhesions) during the same procedure.
Women over age 35.
Patients with previous failed IVF cycles.
Embryos with a thick zona pellucida.
Use of frozen-thawed embryos.
Cases with poor embryo implantation history.
Most patients go home the same day.
Recovery time is typically a few days to a week.
Unexplained infertility after basic testing.
Suspected endometriosis or pelvic adhesions.
Abnormal results from other tests (e.g., HSG showing tubal issues).
Chronic pelvic pain with suspected gynecologic cause.
Direct visualization and treatment of underlying causes.
Can improve chances of natural conception or increase success of IVF.
Less invasive than traditional open surgery.
Like any surgery, carries small risks of bleeding, infection, or injury to organs.
May not be necessary if other non-invasive tests are sufficient.
Discuss timing and benefits with a fertility specialist, especially if IVF is being considered.
