Hysteroscopy is a study of infertility, recurrent miscarriage or abnormal uterine bleeding due to fibroids, scarring, polyps, and congenital malformation. A narrow lighted instrument is inserted through your cervix and into the lower end of the uterus. This is an outpatient surgery and is performed under anesthesia. .
A laparoscopy is also an outpatient procedure done under the benefit of anesthesia. The abdomen is filled with carbon dioxide gas which pushes the internal organs away from the abdominal wall. The laparoscope (a long, thin instrument that mimics a telescope) is then inserted through a very small incision so the surgeon can see your reproductive organs. This procedure helps the physician to diagnose or treat certain conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, scar tissue and chronic pelvic pain.
Your recovery from these procedures is 2-4 days for hysteroscopy and 5-7 days for laparoscopy. You will have weight-lifting restrictions for one week for outpatient procedures.
A laparotomy is a surgical procedure whereby an abdominal incision is made to gain entry to the reproductive organs. Most often the incision is below your navel but above the pubic bone.
The myomectomy allows the surgeon to remove fibroids from the uterus, and allows the surgeon to reconstruct the uterus to preserve your fertility options.
Although the laparotomy and myomectomy are two separate procedures, they are often done during the same surgical procedure. You will remain in the hospital for 2-3 days after the surgery, and you will have a 4-6 week recuperative period with weight-lifting restrictions. You must use mechanical contraception for about three months to allow yourself to heal. Sometimes pregnancies must be delivered by C-section after myomectomy.
