Operative Procedure:

Inside the Umbilicus small needle is introduced and Co2 gas is insufflated inside abdomen. Rather than creating a large incision and opening up the body, tiny incisions are made and a laparoscope is inserted. This slim scope has a lighted end. It takes pictures – actually fiber optic images - and sends them to a monitor so the surgeon can see what is going on inside.

Performing laparoscopy usually only requires three tiny incisions less than one half inch, (about 5-10 millimeters) in length. One incision is made inside the navel, and another two are usually made near the bikini line. The first incision allows a needle to be injected into the abdomen so carbon dioxide gas can be pumped inside the cavity of the abdomen, which helps to keep intestines & omentum up and away from organs. This allows the surgeon a better view and more working space to maneuver the laparoscope and surgical tools as needed. Using small incisions rather than opening the abdomen lessens recovery time as well as discomfort and makes surgical scars less noticeable.

Mass is dissected with monopolar hook or scissor or claw forcep & suction irrigation cannula. In doubtful case dissection should be done in Endobag to prevent spillage. During dissection normal ovarian tissue is saved for future. Ovarian cysts removed with help of Endobag and send for HPE. Ureter should be traced and dissected well to avoid its injury. Cystoscopy done to see free ureteric jet from both ureteric orifices after IV lasix injection.
