Infertility Surgeries

In some fertility cases, surgical treatment is necessary for patients to achieve optimal fertility success.

Our goal with infertility surgeries is to provide you with the least invasive procedure possible. Technological advances allow our doctors to perform precise, specialized surgeries in a minimally invasive way, with most procedures taking less than an hour.

Infertility surgeries are often one of the best treatment options for factors and conditions preventing pregnancy.

These conditions include:

• Endometriosis
• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic and/or intrauterine adhesions
• Uterine fibroids
• Endometrial polyps
• Fallopian tube disease and blockage
• Congenital anomalies of pelvic organs, such as uterine or vaginal septum

These surgeries can seem intimidating. However, at our hospital, we regularly treat fertility issues with non-invasive surgical procedures. Technological developments allow our doctors to perform precise, specialized surgeries in a minimally invasive way, with most procedures taking less than an hour.

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is an effective way to diagnose and treat anatomical fertility problems. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that does not require general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

In a laparoscopic procedure, a tube containing a video camera (laparoscope) is inserted through a small abdominal incision (5-12 mm). This allows our doctors to access images of the abdomen and pelvic organs without the need for major surgery.

Laparoscopy is used to treat:

• Endometriosis
• Ovarian cysts
• Fibroids
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
• Correction of isthmocele (defect caused by previous cesarean)

What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that does not require incisions.

Hysteroscopy uses a small tube (hysteroscope) to examine the cervical canal and the inside of the uterus. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Most women can resume normal activities immediately after a hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopy is used to treat:

• Fibroids
• Endometrial polyps
• Uterine abnormalities such as scar tissue
• Abnormal heavy uterine bleeding
• Repair of uterine septum
