Role of Endoscopic Surgery in Fertility
- To improve IVF success rate: After a transvaginal ultrasound, if your doctor detects tubal disease, ovarian abnormalities, uterine factors, and other pelvic abnormalities that can adversely affect an IVF cycle, then an endoscopy may be recommended to improve the success rate of IVF.
- To facilitate egg collection: If a transvaginal ultrasound has detected infected fallopian tubes that are filled with fluid, then the tubes would need to be disconnected from the uterus. The ovaries would need to be free and located normally to allow egg retrieval
- For breaking adhesions on ovaries: Ovaries can be adherent due to adhesions resulting from conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic infections, and previous surgeries. In these situations, laparoscopy can help in the breakdown of these adhesions and free the ovaries.
- Cyst Removal: If there are ovarian cysts, they need to be removed before starting IVF treatment.
- Fibroid Removal: If there are large fibroids in the uterus, measuring more than 4 cm, they would need to be removed especially if they are located within the cavity or near the lining of the womb.
