Laparoscopy is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will inflate the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas to move the abdominal wall away from the organs to make the organs more visible. Once the abdomen is inflated, the laparoscope is inserted through small incisions made near the belly button. Two to three additional incisions are made at the pubic bone and/or on either side of the lower abdomen. Incision length varies but most incisions are between one-quarter inch and three-quarters of an inch in length. Women who have had previous abdominal surgery, have pelvic adhesions or are overweight are at a greater risk of complications. Each of our surgeons takes great care to discuss potential risks and recommend the procedure they believe is best for treating the patient.
