Our specialized fertility experts in Virginia have received extensive training in laparoscopic surgery and can even perform tubal reversal surgery using this technique.

In addition to tubal ligation reversal, laparoscopy is indispensable for diagnosing conditions like endometriosis and pelvic adhesions. Furthermore, we offer endoscopic surgical treatments for numerous conditions, many of which previously necessitated major surgery. These specialised instruments and minimally invasive procedures have transformed the field of fertility treatment.

The laparoscopic procedure typically requires general anesthesia and can vary in duration from 45 minutes to several hours, contingent on the specific conditions being addressed. The process commences with a small incision just below the navel. A specialised needle is inserted to inflate the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas. The laparoscope, equipped with a camera, is then introduced through this incision, and up to four small incisions may be necessary, depending on the complexity of the laparoscopy.

Risks and Complications of Laparoscopy:

While complications from laparoscopy are generally rare, all surgical procedures come with risks, including injury to organs like the bowel, stomach, urinary bladder, or uterus. Fortunately, the risk of serious complications is less than 1%, particularly when performed by highly trained fertility surgeons.
