This atypical presentation should be borne in mind while performing laparoscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pain

  RESULTS: Unexplained abdominal pain is common in females than in males. The most common laparoscopic findings were abdominal tuberculosis followed by appendicitis. Ninety percent patients achieved pain relief after laparoscopic intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  How the Test Will Feel With general anesthesia, you will feel no pain during the procedure. However, the stitched cuts may throb and be slightly painful afterward. Your doctor may give you a pain reliever. [web.archive.org]

• Surgical Procedure

  Many surgical procedures that required major surgery in the past can be done through laparoscopy. [nsmc.partners.org]

  However, the increasingly better camera optics as well as the development of small, specialist surgical instruments have seen the method used more often for surgical procedures. [hirslanden.ch]

  Diagnostic laparoscopy for gynecology is a surgical procedure doctors use to view a woman's reproductive organs. A laparoscope, or thin viewing tube similar to a telescope, is passed through a small incision (cut) in the abdomen. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  As with any surgical procedure, a laparoscopy has benefits and risks. The benefits of the procedure are most apparent when comparing a laparoscopy to open surgery. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Infertility

  Secondary infertility accounted for 124 (53.9%) cases, and the mean duration of infertility was 4.6 ± 2.7 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In that case, your doctor may recommend infertility treatment, such as fertility drugs, insemination, or in vitro fertilization. If you are younger, consider trying to conceive without infertility treatment. [uwhealth.org]

  Laparoscopy may be used to diagnosis infertility or to treat a fertility problem. [verywell.com]

• Inflammation

  Computed tomography revealed segmental small bowel wall thickening with chronic inflammation suggestive of Crohn's ileitis and oral steroids were commenced; only later, ingestion of a foreign body was suspected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Abnormal results from laparoscopy indicate certain conditions, including: adhesions or surgical scars hernias appendicitis, an inflammation of the intestines fibroids, or abnormal growths in the uterus cysts or tumors cancer cholecystitis, an inflammation [healthline.com]

  Inflammation of an internal organ may be present, such as appendicitis, cholecystitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Scar tissue may be seen on an internal organ, such as the fallopian tubes. [m.kp.org]

  […] of laparoscopy include: bleeding and the potential need for a blood transfusion infection hernia a risk of damage to internal structures, such as such as blood vessels, the stomach, bowel, bladder, or ureter adverse reactions to anesthesia abdominal inflammation [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Falling

  In addition, the patient needs to be tilted back so that the intestine will fall upwards and away from the surgical field. This requires some modification in anesthesia techniques. [brighamandwomens.org]

  If you think you may fall into any of these categories, be sure to discuss your surgical risks with your physician. Although rare, perforation of the bowel or liver is a possible complication that may occur during laparoscopy. [verywellhealth.com]

  These are absorbed and the remains fall out. This can take over a week. If you find the stitches irritating, notify your physician who can take them out. How long is the recovery? You will probably need a week to recover from the procedure. [newhopefertility.com]

  If adhesive strips are used, they should be kept dry and generally will fall off within a few days. You may experience shoulder pain from the carbon dioxide gas that remains in your abdomen. [stanfordchildrens.org]

  If you have Steri-Strips or Dermabond over your incision, it will fall off by itself in 7 to 10 days. If you have stitches, they should dissolve on their own. [mskcc.org]

• Dyspnea

  In patients who are conscious during regional or local anesthesia, discomfort and dyspnea may be limiting factors. [csh.org.tw]

• Overeating

  The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the advantage of SPL over CL for adnexal surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Our team of 40 experts from Romania and abroad has over 18 years experience in organizing courses and have trained over 2000 participants so far. [ponderas.ro]

  This includes over-the-counter drugs and supplements. You may need to stop them before the procedure. Ask a friend to come pick you up after the surgery or schedule a car service. You will not be allowed to drive yourself. [healthline.com]

  Adhesion-related readmissions were tracked over 4 years following initial surgery. [doi.org]

• Nausea

  We presented a case of a Tunisian woman with cough, nausea, decreased appetite and pelvic-abdominal pain. CT scan showed peritoneal thickening, peritoneal tiny nodules and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes ascitic fluid. Sputum analysis was negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Some patients will experience nausea or vomiting, but these feelings should pass quite quickly. There might be some pain at the site of the incisions, and you will commonly be given analgesics (pain-relieving medication). [ranzcog.edu.au]

  Anaesthetic agents affect people in different ways but common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. These effects are generally short lived, lasting less than 24 hours, and are managed by the anaesthetic specialists involved. [fertilitynorth.com.au]

  Talk with your doctor and/or anaesthesiologist beforehand about the methods they use to minimise nausea. Many women find that nausea is lessened when they lay flat. Some natural remedies, such as ginger tea, may also alleviate nausea. [endometriosis.org]

  Other indications include diffuse liver diseases (related to HIV or hepatitis virus, hepatomegaly of unknown etiology, or portal hypertension) and liver masses (to rule out metastatic cancer, hepatoma, or benign masses). [emedicine.medscape.com]

CXR also is part of the basic workup for anyone suspected of having a gynecologic malignancy. [csh.org.tw]

The first is that a specific pathology is assumed following diagnostic workup and thus a specific procedure is planned, the second is that abdominal pathology of uncertain causation or severity is present, and thus the primary aim of laparoscopy will [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

• Pneumoperitoneum

  We collected data to compare using this new method of peritoneal insufflation with using Palmer's point for pneumoperitoneum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Five different techniques were used to achieve pneumoperitoneum: closed laparoscopy with Veress needle, open laparoscopy, direct entry, subcostal insufflation, and transfundal insufflation. [glowm.com]

  Next, insuffltate carbon dioxide at a low flow rate of 2 liters/minute, allowing the patient to adapt gradually to the pneumoperitoneum. [web.archive.org]
