Laparoscopy in IVF - assessing the uterus and reproductive organs before or during laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in IVF treatment is essential. Two surgical procedures used for this purpose are laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. They can be both diagnostic and therapeutic methods, aimed at detecting and, if necessary, removing problems that hinder embryo implantation.
What is laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a camera is inserted into the abdominal cavity through a small incision to examine the reproductive organs. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
For what purpose is laparoscopy performed during IVF?
- Fallopian tube patency test
- Detection and removal of endometriosis lesions
- Ovarian cyst and fibroid removal
- Treatment of internal adhesions in the pelvis
Role in IVF treatment
When fallopian tubes are blocked, in vitro fertilization is usually recommended. However, in some cases, removing the tubes or endometriosis lesions through laparoscopy significantly increases the chances of pregnancy. Therefore, laparoscopy is an important step in preparing for the procedure.
What is a hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a procedure in which the inside of the uterus is examined with a thin camera inserted through the vagina. It can be performed under local or light anesthesia.
For what purpose is it carried out?
- Removal of uterine polyps and fibroids
- Removal of uterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome)
- Hysterectomy (septum) correction
- Endometrial lining assessment
Role in in vitro treatment
Intrauterine abnormalities that hinder embryo implantation can lead to IVF failure. Hysteroscopy removes these anomalies, better preparing the uterus to accept the embryo. This method is especially recommended for repeated failed IVF attempts.
The meaning of procedures in vitro
Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are additional procedures that can significantly increase the success rate of IVF treatment. While not necessary for every patient, they help in identifying and removing obstacles to conception. Timely and precise intervention positively impacts the final outcome.
