Laparoscopy is a surgical discipline which primarily involves the doctor making 1 – 3 small cuts (or incisions) on the body through which a laparoscopic tube is inserted. A laparoscopic tube is a surgical instrument fitted with a light and a camera. Laparoscopy typically helps reduce post-operative pain and reduces the risks of open surgery. That being said, the use of laparoscopy for infertility in women is still a topic of debate as those with pelvic pain may be required to undergo surgery. While an ovarian drilling is the most commonly performed operative procedure, a myomectomy will help in the removal of fibroids from the uterus. In addition to pelvic pain and irregular or heavy periods, these fibroids can also cause blockages in the uterus that can make it more difficult for the woman to conceive.
