What is Diagnostic Laparoscopy?
Diagnostic laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which the patient’s abdomen and pelvis can be viewed and examined.
During a diagnostic laparoscopy, the cause of abdominal and pelvic pain is diagnosed. Medical ailments and conditions such as appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, cholecystitis etc. are detected during a diagnostic laparoscopy. It is most often used in the examination of female reproductive organs.
Diagnostic laparoscopy is performed when diagnostic examinations using ultrasound or X-ray are unable to diagnose an ailment or medical condition.
How is Diagnostic Laparoscopy Performed?
A small incision is made in the patient’s abdomen below the navel.
A needle is inserted into the incision area and gas is passed into the abdominal cavity to create space in the abdomen for a better view and workspace for the surgeon.
Then a laparoscope, which is an endoscopic tube with a tiny camera attached to it, is inserted through the incision.
Using the laparoscope, the patient’s abdomen and pelvic regions can be viewed.
Additional incisions may also be made to insert surgical tools if required.
In a diagnostic laparoscopy in relation to gynecology, the surgeon may use some dye which is injected into the cervix that enables a better view of the fallopian tubes.
Once the diagnostic laparoscopy is completed, the laparoscope and other instruments are removed and the incisions are closed and covered with bandages.
How to Prepare for Diagnostic Laparoscopy?
The patient should abstain from smoking a few days before the surgery.
The patient should wear comfortable clothing and footwear on the day of the surgery to prevent a fall or injury due to drowsiness caused by anesthesia.
The patient’s clothing should be loose fitting as the patient is likely to experience abdominal cramping.
The patient should remove jewelry and other accessories before the surgery.
