A hysteroscopy can help a number of abnormalities, including but not limited to:

• You’ve had more than one miscarriage or infertility problems
• A small tissue sample (biopsy) of the lining of your uterus is needed

Hysteroscopy surgery is performed to examine the inside of a womb through a small camera inserted into the cervix and into the uterine cavity.

Laparoscopy is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that is done by making a small incision and uses a laparoscope to examine the abdominal organs.

Laparoscopy is almost always done under general anesthesia, therefore, patients do not feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients are able to go home the same day and return to work a few days later.

Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a diagnostic surgical procedure that is done to examine the abdominal and pelvic cavities, the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and the outside of the uterus. During the procedure, your doctor can also make surgical corrections to the pelvic structures that are damaged or abnormal if necessary.
