Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy
Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that helps to evaluate the inside of the uterus and pelvis to diagnose any underlying medical condition that might be causing infertility or chronic pelvic pain. The procedure combines the use of two methods, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the female reproductive organs.
Why is Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy Done?
Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy is done to investigate the cause of chronic pelvic pain or infertility in women. Some common indications for the procedure include:
- Infertility: When a woman is unable to get pregnant even after trying for a long time. This procedure helps check if there are any issues in the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries.
- Recurrent: When a woman has repeated miscarriages. The test helps find problems inside the uterus that may be causing pregnancy loss.
- Chronic pelvic pain: Long-term pain in the lower abdomen. This procedure helps identify causes like infections, endometriosis, or internal issues.
- Abnormal uterine bleeding: Irregular, heavy, or unexpected bleeding during periods. It helps doctors check for growths, hormonal issues, or other abnormalities.
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and fertility problems. This procedure helps confirm and assess its severity.
- Adhesions or scar tissues in the pelvic region: Internal scars that may form after infections or surgeries. These can block or damage reproductive organs, and the procedure helps detect them.
- Ovarian cysts or tumors: Unusual growths in the ovaries. The procedure helps in identifying and evaluating these cysts or tumors for proper treatment.
How is Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy Performed?
This Process explained by Dr. Kunnal Shinde, Gyneac Laparoscopic Surgeon in Baner, Pune.
This procedure begins with a small incision made near the navel. Through this tiny opening, a thin instrument called a laparoscope (a small camera) is inserted into the abdomen. This camera allows the doctor to clearly view the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures on a screen.
At the same time, another instrument called a hysteroscope is gently passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This helps the doctor examine the inner lining of the uterus and detect any abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, or structural issues.
Sometimes, a carbon dioxide gas is used to slightly inflate the abdomen. This creates more space inside, making it easier for the doctor to see the organs clearly. The procedure may take 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on the complexity of the case.
Advantages of Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy

- Provides a comprehensive evaluation of the reproductive organs
- Accurate diagnosis of underlying medical conditions
- Shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery
Complications of Diagnostic Hystero Laparoscopy

- Infection
