PROCEDURE
The procedure of gynecological laparoscopy at Grace Women’s Hospital follows a meticulous and patient-centered approach, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Here’s a detailed outline of what patients can expect during the laparoscopy process:
Pre-operative Preparation
Consultation and Evaluation
Patients undergo a complete medical work-up, including history-taking reviews, physical examination, as well as necessary radiology studies to confirm the diagnosis and assess suitability for laparoscopy.
Pre-Surgical Tests
Blood tests, ECGs, or any other necessary tests are carried out to determine whether the patient is fit for surgery.
Counseling
The various aspects of the operation, such as the risks involved, benefits, and expected outcomes, are explained in detail to allow patients to make informed decisions.
Fasting
Usually 6-12 hours fasting prior surgery is recommended for these clients before undergoing surgery.
The Laparoscopy Procedure
Anesthesia
The patient is administered with general anesthesia so that they get to sleep and feel no pain during the whole exercise.
Incision and Access
A surgeon makes a small cut near the belly button into which a cannula is inserted to inflate the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas for better visibility and working space
Insertion of Laparoscope
A laparoscope, a slender tube with a camera at one end that transmits images to a screen, is then introduced through this incision site for guiding the surgery.
Operative Procedure
Additional small incisions may be made to insert instruments used for the surgical procedure, such as removing cysts, excising endometrial tissue, or repairing organs.
Surgical Completion
After the procedure is finished, these instruments are removed, and gas is released through them. This culminates in stitching these cuts right after dressing them up.
Post-operative Care
Recovery Room
Once the theatre is over, the patient is transferred to the recovery room, where she will be closely watched as the anesthetic wears off by checking her vital signs.
Pain Management
Painkillers are given to reduce discomfort caused by surgery afterwards.
Observation
The patients usually go home on the same day or the next one, depending on their condition and the complexity of the operation involved in each case respectively.
Follow-Up
There should be a follow-up appointment to monitor the progress of healing, remove sutures if needed, address any questions or concerns that arise afterward, and address other issues related to post-surgery reevaluation.
Recovery and Aftercare
Activity Resumption
It normally takes a few days before patients can resume their normal activities, although some restrictions on strenuous exercises might last for several weeks.
Monitoring
Patients should be informed about signs of infections and complications so that they can report if any exist.
Support and Guidance
At home, aftercare instructions are given to patients by the hospital for a smooth and safe recovery process.
