Ovarian drilling, also known as multiperforation or laparoscopic ovarian diathermy, is a surgical technique of puncturing the membranes surrounding the ovary with a laser beam or a surgical needle using minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. [1] It differs from ovarian wedge resection, which involves the cutting of tissue.
The Olympic champion, 38, took to Instagram on Wednesday, September 16, to share photos from a laparoscopic procedure she had two weeks prior to help remove her moderate case of endometriosis ...
A sitz bath or hip bath is a bathtub in which a person sits in water up to the hips. [1] It is used to relieve discomfort and pain in the lower part of the body, for example, due to hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, perianal fistulas, rectal surgery, an episiotomy, uterine cramps, inflammatory bowel disease, pilonidal cysts and infections of the bladder, prostate or vagina.
For women who are not candidates for surgery, a clinical diagnosis can be made based on the symptoms and levels (follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol, after bilateral oophorectomy) and/or findings consistent with the presence of residual ovarian tissue. [3] Laparoscopy and histological assessment can aid in diagnosis. [4]
Supracervical (subtotal) laparoscopic hysterectomy (LSH) is performed similar to the total laparoscopic surgery but the uterus is amputated between the cervix and fundus. [79] Dual-port laparoscopy is a form of laparoscopic surgery using two 5 mm midline incisions: the uterus is detached through the two ports and removed through the vagina. [80 ...
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac within the ovary. [1] They usually cause no symptoms, [1] but occasionally they may produce bloating, lower abdominal pain, or lower back pain. [1] The majority of cysts are harmless. [1] [2] If the cyst either breaks open or causes twisting of the ovary, it may cause severe pain. [1]
Once the ovarian follicles have been aspirated on one ovary, the needle is withdrawn and the procedure is repeated on the other ovary. It is not unusual to remove 20 oocytes as patients are generally hyperstimulated in advance of this procedure. After completion, the needle is withdrawn, and hemostasis is achieved. The procedure usually lasts ...
In 2003, after freeze-thawing, orthotopic autotransplantation of ovarian cortical tissue was done by laparoscopy and five months after reimplantation regular ovulatory cycles were reinitiated. Eleven months after re-implantation a viable intrauterine pregnancy was confirmed, which resulted in the delivery of a healthy baby.
