What are the advantages of laparoscopic surgery?

The uterus of women is a very sensitive part. There are many serious diseases related to the uterus, such as the well-known uterine fibroids, as well as fallopian tube tumors and ovarian tumors, etc. These diseases are very harmful. Patients may need to undergo hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for treatment, which is also the most advanced surgery at present. This surgery has the following advantages.

Advantages of laparoscopic surgery:

Diagnostic and therapeutic effects

Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can replace most transabdominal laparotomies. A typical example is pelvic inflammatory adhesion masses. The use of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy avoids blind laparotomy. On the other hand, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can perform surgical treatment while diagnosing, especially in diseases such as ectopic pregnancy, ovarian rupture, and infertility, its superiority is more obvious.

Less invasive surgery

Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal trauma, requires only two small incisions, and leaves very small scars, which is especially noteworthy for young people and women who love beauty. The postoperative pain is mild and most people no longer need painkillers after surgery. A hysteroscope is an optical instrument used for observation, diagnosis and treatment of the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopes can be divided into diagnostic and surgical types, and soft and hard types. The flexible diagnostic hysteroscope is made of advanced optical fiber. It has a small diameter and can be bent at will, making it easy to observe and diagnose the entire uterine cavity. The examination process is fast (about 2 to 5 minutes), painless, and does not hurt the uterus.

Fast recovery after surgery

Hysteroscopic laparoscopic surgery is performed in a closed pelvic and abdominal cavity, and the trauma is far less than that of transabdominal surgery. The patient can get out of bed and move around after the operation, and can eat semi-liquid food the next day. Generally, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 3 days after the operation and resume normal life and work after one week. The patient's wound pain was significantly alleviated after laparoscopic surgery.

Little scarring

Traditional surgery has the disadvantage of leaving long scars that affect appearance, while laparoscopic surgery leaves almost no scars, which is particularly suitable for women's needs for beauty. Hysteroscopic laparoscopy causes little interference to the pelvic cavity, and there is no contact between gauze or sutures and tissues, so postoperative pelvic and abdominal adhesions are far less than those caused by abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a single-blade direct approach that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and reduces the chance of postoperative adhesions.

Save on medical expenses

Laparoscopic surgery requires fewer hospital stays. Some patients can be discharged from the hospital in just 2-3 days and fully recover and return to work in 7 days, which greatly reduces the cost burden on patients. Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery reduces costs for patients due to reduced hospital stays, faster postoperative recovery, and reduced medication. In addition, due to minimal surgical trauma, patients can return to work in a short period of time, and problems such as reduced income due to the disease and the need for care from others for the family no longer exist.

Cost of surgery

The entire set of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy surgery, including pre- and post-operative medications and various examinations, costs about 8,000 yuan.
