Frequently asked questions
What is laparoscopy?
The laparoscopic surgeon makes small cuts to perform the operation. It is different from conventional open surgery, where the cut is large. Laparoscopy is minimally invasive and allows a quick recovery.
How is it performed?
A laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision. Its camera lets the gynaecologist or surgeon view the inside of the pelvis and abdomen on a monitor. Solutions are offered with advanced equipment through 5 mm cuts.

What should I expect after surgery?
