Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is recommended for fibroids, ovarian cysts and endometriosis that don't resolve with medication — using small incisions for faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Before any procedure, imaging results and options are discussed in detail so the decision is made together, not handed down.
Most patients go home within 1-2 days and return to normal light activity within a week to ten days — significantly faster than open surgery, though this varies by procedure complexity.
Sometimes, particularly for endometriosis, short-term hormonal therapy may be recommended afterward to reduce recurrence — this is discussed case by case.
