IVF is still a new and unexplored area for patients and their families. There are many silent questions and doubts that patients come with at Zeeva Fertility. One of such most commonly asked question is about need for Laparoscopy. Is it for all patients? Firstly, let us understand what Laparoscopy helps with.
Laparoscopy is a small surgery with tiny incisions which is performed using camera(laparoscope) to identify any possible pelvic pathology. Certain patients in their Sonography indicate that there might be presence of some masses in their fibroids, cyst, or damaged fallopian tube that may impair the implantation. Laparoscopic surgery is conducted to investigate or confirm the diagnosis of certain other disorders that may co-exist with infertility.
Laparoscopy fills your diagnostic gaps and helps your doctor reach the right solution to fix your pelvis area and make it ready for pregnancy and implantation. If there is presence of Fibroid, it can be removed before undergoing the IVF procedure. If there is any endometriotic cyst, treatment and clearance is needed before IVF is started.
In simpler language, Laparoscopy helps to restore the anatomy of reproductive system by identifying, diagnosing and removing anything that may reduce the chances of natural conception or IVF.

Let us also understand in which cases are Laparoscopy needed?
- Unidentified reason for infertility: When standard tests fail to diagnose the cause of Infertility, Laparoscopy can be a saviour. In cases of repeated failed pregnancy, guesswork is waste of time and Laparoscopy is indicative.
- Endometriosis: Patients with diagnosed Endometriosis or suspected Endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain and similar underlying condition need Laparoscopy.
- Cyst/PCOS/PCOD- Laparoscopy is used to diagnose and treat ovarian cysts especially large painful ones. This one process is both diagnostic and restorative in same sitting where small 2-4 incisions are made through surgery to see and treat the cyst.
- Fallopian Tube blockage- Blocked Fallopian Tube or presence of fluid in Fallopian Tube can be one possible reason to make natural conception impossible. In case of indication of tube blockage, Laparoscopy is highly recommended.
- Growth of Fibroids- Fibroids are non-cancerous growth in Uterus that can interfere with implantation. Laparoscopy helps remove this growth and improves the chances of fertility.
