This can cause infertility by preventing the egg from reaching the tube. Even minimal adhesions may substantially reduce fertility. Pelviscopic surgery is ideal for treating these types of adhesions, because the scarring is less than with open surgery. Endometriosis Endometriosis occurs when the lining of the uterus backs up into pelvic structures. This can create internal scarring and subtle hormonal changes.
Endometriosis can prevent pregnancy even if the scarring is minor.
Laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat all stages of pelvic endometriosis, from mild to severe with excellent results. Surgical lasers, ultrasonic scalpels, or other techniques are frequently used to increase accuracy and decrease trauma to nearby tissues. This leads to better postoperative healing and better results. Sterilization A recent survey indicated that more than 12 million people in the United States have been sterilized, and more than 60 percent of those procedures are performed on women. Approximately 15,000 to 20,000 of sterilized women will want to reverse the procedure because of a renewed desire for children.
