Laparoscopic Gynecologist In Dubai
An Overview of Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy gynecological surgery is an alternative to open surgery. In this surgery, a laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen to look inside your pelvic area. A laparoscope is a slender, lighted tube with a camera. The camera sends images of the body’s inside to a TV monitor, thus allowing the doctor to see inside your body. Diagnostic laparoscopy can help determine whether you have conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc. Your doctor can also perform a variety of laparoscopic surgeries. Laparoscopy generally has a shorter healing time, fewer complications, and less scarring than open surgery. A gynecologist or a general surgeon may perform this laparoscopic procedure in Dubai.
