Laparoscopy What is Laparoscopy (Key Hole Surgery) Recovery after Laparoscopy. Indications of gynaecological laparoscopy What is Laparoscopy (Key Hole Surgery). Laparoscopy is usually done under general anaesthesia although it could be done using local anaesthesia. A small cut is made under or through the navel where a thin needle is inserted into the abdominal cavity and is used to insert gas (CO2) . The abdomen is insufflated to a certain degree of pressure and then a trocar is introduced through the small cut and the telescope inserted through it. The camera is then attached to the telescope to enable the internal organs to be viewed on a monitor, smaller sized trocars are then inserted into the lower part of the abdomen & on either side (could be three in total) .Instruments could then be introduced into the abdomen through the trocars enabling the operator to perform his procedure. Recovery after Laparoscopy. In the recovery room the attending nurse will observe the patient until she is conscious and then the patient will be returned to her room, if she is discharged on the same day she is not allowed to drive. As a result of the anaesthetic the patient might feel tired and dizzy which is normal. Some feel shoulder pain for the first 24 hours after the operation. Minor complications could result from the operation manifesting as redness at the incisions sites or leakage of fluid from the cut sites or a small degree of fever. All of these complications are rare and easily controlled by the attending doctor.
