• Laparoscopy literally means, "to look
  inside the abdomen".
• Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that
  involves insertion of a narrow telescope-like
  instrument through a small incision in the
  belly button.

• This allows visualization of the abdominal
  and pelvic organs.
Indications
• Diagnostic Laparoscopy:
1.Infertility work up-Ovulation study
                       -Tubal patency
                       -Endometriosis
                       - Pelvic adhesions
2.Acute pelvic lesion-Acute ectopic
                     -Acute Appendicitis
                     -Acute Salpingitis
3.Pelvic mass-Fibroid
              -Ovarian Cyst
4.Follow up of pelvic surgery
            -Tuboplasty
            -Ovarian malignancy
            -Evaluation of endometriosis Rx
5.Suspected Mullerian abnormalitis
6.Suspected Uterine perforation
7.To take biopsy
• Therapeutic Laparoscopy

-Adhesiolysis
-Aspiration of ovarian cyst
-Ovarian drilling
-Ovarian cystectomy
-Ectopic pregnancy
-Tubal sterilization
-Endometriosis(Laser or thermal ablation)
-Myomectomy
-LAVH
Contraindications

•   Severe cardiopulmonary diseases
•   Generalised peritonitis
•   Intestinal obstruction
•   Significant hemoperitoneum
•   Extensive peritoneal adhesions
•   Large pelvic tumour
•   Obesity
•   Pregnancy >16 wks
COMPLICATIONS OF
  LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERIES

1. AnaestheticComplications
2. Complications             due          to
   pneumoperitonium
3. Surgical complications
4. Diathermy related injuries
5. Patients factors related complications
6. Post operative complications
SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS

•   Injury to Viscus :
•   Stomach -Hyperventilation by Mask
               Distended stomach
               Injured with trochar or needle
•   Diagnosis -
•   Laparoscopic view of inside of stomach
•   Management –
•   Extend trocar incision into a minilap. for a
    two layer closure.
•   Laparosocpically
    - Pursestring suture or a figure of 8 suture
    in the seromuscular layer surround the
    defect.
    - Nasogastric tube drainage for two days.
•  Bowel - May be injured due to trocar or
   veress needle.
Diagnosis -
• Foul smelling gas through pneumo-peritoneal
   needle is a helpful diagnostic sign.
• There may be GI contents at the tip of needle.
Management –
• If due to verres’ needle it is managed
   conservatively.
• Mini laprotomy and repair of perforation.
• It may be sutured of laparoscopic stapler
   (ENDO-GIA) can be used.
• Colostomy.
• Small Bowel Perforation - Most often
  during insertion of umblical or lower
  quadrant trocars .
  • Usually recognized later in the procedure
   • If adhesions are not freed from anterior
     abdominal wall perforation may not be
                   recognized
• Management –
• One should consider higher primary site if
  adhesions are found through umblical port.
• Perforation repaired transversally
• If injury is free of adhesions bowel can be
  withdrawn through 10 mm trocar tract and
  repaired
• Injury to Viscus :
• Bladder - Injury caused by second puncture
  trocar usually .
• Diagnosis : Appearance of gas and blood in
  Foley’s catheter bag.
• Management –
• Early detection is important.
• Place an indwelling catheter for 7-10 days
  and prophylactic antibiotics - If defect is
  larger.
• Repaired by a figure of 8 suture through
  muscularis of bladder & second suture to
  close peritonium.
• Ureter - May be injured in adenexal
 surgeries.
• Thermal injury will result in ureteral
  narrowing and hydroureter.


Management –
• Placement of ureteric stent for 3 – 6 weeks
Vessel Injury:
• Larger vessels may be injured by trocar or verres’
  needle.
• CO2 peritoneum may tamponade a large vessel
  injury. When pressure normalizes it starts bleeding.
• Management –
• Examine the course of large vessels.
• Overlying peritoneum is opened with laproscopic
  scissors or a CO2 laser.
• Hematoma evacuated by alternate suction and
  irrigation.
• *Laprotomy is required if hematoma is expanding or
  persistent bleeding.
Epigastric Vessels –
• Deep epigastric vessels most frequently injured in
  laproscopic hysterectomy.
• Management –
• By Tamponade –
• Rotate second puncture sleave by 3600.
• By Foley’s catheter
• Bipolar coutery
• Needle suturing
• Small haemostate (Mosquito clamp)
Ovarian or uterine vessels –
• Injured during laproscopic hysterectomy
• Management –
• Bipolar desiccation
• Ureter must be identified before desiccation
DIATHERMY RELATED INJURIES
Due to –
• Inadvertent activation of the diathermy
    pedal.
• Faulty insulation
• Direct coupling
Injuries –
• Thermal necrosis of organs.
• Inadvertent organ ligation.
• Unrecognized haemorrhage.
PATIENT’S FACTORS RELATED
            COMPLICATIONS
•   Obesity
•   Ascites
•   Organomegaly – organ damage
•   Coagulation disorder – haemorrhage
POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS


•   Concealed injury to organs
•   Delayed fecal fistula
•   Port site metastasis
•   Recidual air (Referred chest or
    shoulder pain)
