Laparoscopic Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. This condition is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the ectopic pregnancy and preserve the health of the mother. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled gynaecologist, specializes in performing this surgery with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for her patients.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterine cavity, most often in the fallopian tube. This condition is not viable and can cause severe complications, including rupture of the fallopian tube, internal bleeding, and even death if left untreated. Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy include:

• Abdominal or pelvic pain.
• Vaginal bleeding.
• Shoulder pain (a sign of internal bleeding).
• Dizziness or fainting.

If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method for treating ectopic pregnancy because it is minimally invasive and offers several benefits:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Allows the surgeon to confirm the ectopic pregnancy and assess the extent of the condition.
• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions result in less trauma to the body.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
• Less Pain: Reduced postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
• Preservation of Fertility: In many cases, the fallopian tube can be preserved, improving the chances of future pregnancies.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana ensures a seamless and comfortable experience for her patients. Here’s what you can expect:
