Laparoscopy of fallopian tubes: reviews, features of operation and indications
If you can not get pregnant for a long time, then laparoscopy of the fallopian tubes can help determine the cause of this problem . Reviews, features and other important points of this procedure are described below.
What it is? In what cases is it shown?
- Adhesions of the fallopian tubes (a condition in which the connective tissue grows and joins the tubes, changing their state);
- Their obstruction;
- Sterilization (through piping);
- Diagnostics of their condition;
- Ectopic pregnancy localized in the tube;
- Removal of fallopian tubes.
That is, the operation can be performed both for therapeutic purposes and for diagnostic purposes. Now a little about the essence of the intervention. Several punctures are made in the abdominal cavity. A laparoscope is placed in one of them, which will help to inspect the pipes, and in the other one a manipulator (there may be several of them) is inserted, which makes it possible, if necessary, to make clamps, cuts and other manipulations.
Laparoscopy of the fallopian tubes in Moscow and other cities is performed most often under general anesthesia, less often under epidural (in this case, the lower part of the body is removed). Intervention is performed approximately on the 6-10th day of the cycle before ovulation.
What is the effectiveness of such an operation? Does laparoscopy of the fallopian tubes help solve problems? Feedback indicates that the effect is, and it is very positive. So, many women who underwent this intervention due to infertility caused by adhesive processes, soon learned about their pregnancy. On average, it occurs within a year after this.
As for the operation itself and the postoperative period, there are no special complaints from patients. Some of them felt a strong swelling in the abdomen for 2-3 weeks, but gradually it passed. As for the pains, then in some women they arose, sometimes even significant and strong, but only in the first week after the intervention, then everything fell into place.
Almost all note that after the operation, rather abundant spotting began . But it normal. In most cases, they either passed a week or one and a half, or flowed into regular menstruation.
Now about the aesthetic side of the question. Most patients had no scars and traces 2-3 months later. And in a year it was impossible to say that there was any intervention.
One can only add that you should not be afraid of laparoscopy. It's almost safe and quite effective. But only the doctor can decide on the appointment of an operation. And the intervention should be performed by an experienced surgeon in a good clinic.
