Laparoscopy, commonly called keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery, involves inserting a small camera (5–10 mm) into the abdomen through a tiny incision (around 1 cm) at the belly button. This allows the surgeon to examine and treat conditions within the abdominal or pelvic cavities without the need for a large abdominal cut.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery:

• Significantly less pain

• Faster recovery

• Shorter hospital stay

• Smaller scars

At Advanced Laparoscopy and Gynaecology Centre (ALGC), we are dedicated to providing women with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery whenever possible.

Our Goal

We believe all women should be aware of keyhole surgery as an alternative to open surgery. Unfortunately, many are not informed of this option each year.

Dr Yadav is one of only a few gynaecologists in Australia performing advanced laparoscopic surgery at Level 5 and Level 6 (the highest skill levels). In fact, the majority of abdominal surgeries he performs are laparoscopic.

Surgeries Performed Laparoscopically by Dr Yadav:

• Treatment of endometriosis

• Laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy (fibroid removal)

• Laparoscopic management of uterovaginal prolapse, including mesh sacrocolpopexy and mesh hysteropexy

• Laparoscopic Burch colposuspension for urinary incontinence

• Management of ovarian cysts
