Pros And Cons of Laparoscopic Process
If the procedure of Laparoscopic was so much fun and easy as people think it to be as it involves just a small incision; then people would have never opted for the bigger and messier process known as laparotomy. Laparoscopic surgeries involve a very short time in the recovery but it has its cons as well:
1. All the doctors in the world are not trained for laparoscopic surgeries. It is very essential that you trust a doctor for such surgeries only if he has an experience of at least a dozen of laparoscopic surgeries.
2. Once the procedure starts, the doctors get to see very less at the time of surgery.
3. In the case of laparotomy; the doctors can remove the tissue very easily but in the case of laparoscopic surgery, they can remove the endometriosis tissues only if it is visible.
How Is Laparoscopic Endometriosis Process Carried Out?
Normally, laparoscopic endometriosis process is done under the general anesthetics. The process of laparoscopic surgery is also known as the keyhole procedure as the incision is very small and even un-noticeable after some time of surgery.

After this, the abdomen is inflated with the help of Carbon Dioxide which results in the clearer accessibility of the inside body for the surgery purpose. Then the doctor slides a thin tube with the help of a valve known as trocar in order to stop the gas from leaving your abdominal. At the time of surgery, you will have a catheter which might be on till the time you are completely awake.
In the end, a long and thin instrument known as laparoscope is inserted inside your abdomen in order to check the pelvis and abdomen. Laparoscope resembles a very long and thin telescope which allows the doctor to see your reproductive organs.
