Laproscopy

1. Laparoscopy for infertility is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a telescope-like instrument (laparoscope) with light and small camera allows the surgeon to examine the pelvic anatomy for causes of female infertility.
2. Laparoscopy can be diagnostic, assessing for causes of infertility in the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
3. An operative laparoscopy involves surgical treatment for problems found during a diagnostic laparoscopy procedure, utilizing small surgical tools passed through the laparoscope.
4. Laparoscopic surgery can also be used to remove scar tissue or endometriosis.
