Of late, India has emerged as a Mecca to various medical treatments and surgeries for global patients coming from all across the globe.

Laparoscopic Salpingostomy in India is performed with state of art facilities enable hospitals with best doctors to treat, having a massive experience in handling cases of difficult nature. The moot reason for this global haul is the availability of low cost options. Another reason for the global appreciation of Laparoscopic Salpingostomy in India i

s owing to the fact that it is performed under the supervision of renowned surgeons with quality and prudence. Many patients come to India to get their treatment at advanced Indian hospitals. Indian medical tourism is earning great respect and popularity for its world class facilities at an affordable cost budget and catering services in conformance to the patients get in developed nations like US or UK.

 

What is a Laparoscopic Salpingostomy?

 

Laparoscopic Salpingostomy is a surgical

incision into a fallopian tube. This procedure may be done to repair a damaged tube or to remove an ectopic pregnancy (one that occurs outside of the uterus). Laparoscopic Salpingostomy may also be performed in an effort to restore fertility to a woman whose fallopian tubes have been damaged, such as by adhesions (bands of scar tissue that may form after surgery or trauma). In the case of hydrosalpinx, a condition in which a tube becomes blocked and filled with fluid, a Laparoscopic Salpingosto

my may be performed to create a new tubal ostium

 

What are the preparations for Laparoscopic Salpingostomy?

 

It has been estimated that 40–50% of ectopic pregnancies are incorrectly diagnosed when first presenting to emergency room medical personnel. Often the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are confused with other conditions such as miscarriage or pelvic inflammatory disease. Diagnosis is usually based on presentation of symptoms, a positive pregnancy test, and detection of a pregnancy outside of the uterus by means of ultrasonography (using a machine that transmits high frequency sound waves to visualize structures in the body). Diagnosis of hydrosalpinx or other defects of the fallopian tubes may be done surgically, using a Laparoscopic Salpingostomy to visualize the fallopian tubes. Alternatively, a hysterosalpingogram may be performed, in which the uterus is filled with a dye and an x ray is taken to see if the dye flows through the fallopian tubes.

 

How is Laparoscopic Salpingostomy Performed?

 

Laparoscopic Salpingostomy may be performed under general or regional anesthesia. A Laparoscopic Salpingostomy is an incision made in the abdominal wall through which the fallopian tubes are visualized. If the tube has already ruptured as a result of an ectopic pregnancy, a Laparoscopic Salpingostomy will be performed to remove the damaged fallopian tube. If rupture has not occurred, a drug called vasopressin is injected into the fallopian tube to minimize the amount of bleeding. An incision (called a linear salpingostomy) is made through the wall of the tube in the area of the ectopic pregnancy. The products of conception are then flushed out of the tube with an instrument called a suction-irrigator. Any bleeding sites are treated by suturing or by applying pressure with forceps. The incision is not sutured but instead left to heal on its own (called closure by secondary intent). The abdominal wall is then closed.

 

A Nosalpingostomy is similar to a linear salpingostomy but is performed to treat a tubal blockage (e.g., hydrosalpinx). During the Laparoscopic Salpingostomy an incision is made to create a new opening in the fallopian tube; the tissue is folded over and stitched into place. The new hole, or ostium, replaces the normal opening of the fallopian tube through which the egg released by an ovary each menstrual cycle is collected. With Laparoscopic Salpingostomy surgery, a tube (called a laparoscope) containing a tiny lens and light source is inserted through a small incision in the navel. A camera can be attached that allows the surgeon to see the abdominal cavity on a video monitor. The Laparoscopic Salpingostomy is then performed with instruments inserted through trocars, small incisions of 0.2–0.8 in (0.5–2 cm) made through the abdominal wall. An advantage of Laparoscopic Salpingostomy is that the operation is less invasive, thus recovery time is quicker and less painful as compared to a laparotomy; the av
