Surgical Procedures

Surgical procedures such as hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are used for both diagnostic (looking only) or operative (treating) purposes.

We do these procedures at our centre as day care surgeries using minimally invasive techniques under general anaesthesia which give minimal scarring to the patient and quicker recovery times.

These procedures may be recommended as part of your infertility care, depending on your particular situation.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to evaluate women with infertility and recurrent miscarriage.

A diagnostic hysteroscopy is used to examine the uterine cavity and helps in diagnosing abnormal uterine conditions such as fibroids, adhesions, polyps and congenital malformations.

An operative hysteroscopy may be recommended for the following reasons:

Removal of fibroids

Removal of adhesions to the uterus

Removal of polyps

Assessing congenital abnormalities of the uterus

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy procedures are used for the diagnosis of infertility and pelvic pain.

They help the specialist view the outside of the uterus, ovaries and the fallopian tubes.

An operative laparoscopy may be recommended for the following reasons:

Pelvic endometriosis

Removal of fibroids

Laparoscopic cerclage

Removal of ovarian cysts or tumours

Ovarian capsule drilling

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

Testicular Sperm Extraction is a process where sperm is collected directly from the testicles.

Men who have no sperm in their ejaculate because of issues with sperm production, actually may have small pockets of sperm production within the testicle that can be used with IVF/ICSI procedures to create a baby.

It is recommended in men when they have:

Non-obstructive azoospermia: the testicles are not making enough sperm

Had a previous vasectomy or failed vasectomy reversal

Obstructive azoospemia: the sperms get blocked from passing out to the semen due to blockages in the seminal track.

Any problems arising from injury or infection
