Expert Laparoscopic Gynaecology – Minimally Invasive Keyhole Surgery
Laparoscopic gynaecology, or keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat a wide range of women’s health conditions. At Pall Mall Medical, our specialist consultants provide expert care for conditions like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and chronic pelvic pain.
With laparoscopic surgery, patients benefit from smaller incisions, reduced discomfort, faster recovery, and highly precise treatment tailored to their need
What is laparoscopic gynaecology and what conditions can be treated?
Laparoscopic surgery involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a camera (laparoscope) to guide the procedure. This allows surgeons to access the pelvic organs without large incisions, reducing pain, scarring, and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Conditions treated
Our laparoscopic gynaecology procedures address a variety of conditions, including:
Chronic pelvic pain
Ovarian cysts
Fibroids
Other gynaecological conditions

Procedure Details
Preparing for Laparoscopy
Ensuring you are in optimal health for surgery is essential for a smooth recovery. We recommend actions such as quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and following a healthy, balanced diet to enhance your recovery process.
During the Procedure
During a laparoscopy, a small incision (0.5-1 cm) is made near the belly button, allowing a laparoscope (camera) to inspect the abdominal cavity. Carbon dioxide gas is used to create space for clear visibility. Additional incisions may be made for other instruments, especially in gynaecology cases. The procedure typically lasts no more than 30 minutes and is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthetic.
