Abstract
In recent years laparoscopic surgery has come into wide use, yet it is not generally used for gynecological surgery. There may be two reasons for this:
1) Laparoscopic surgery requires specialized equipment and techniques.
2) Laparoscopic surgery, being two dimensional, introduces three dimensional perception problems and kinematic difficulties. The purpose of the current is to describe efficacious laparoscopic procedures for gynecological applications for the ovary and fallopian tube. For benign ovarian diseases Laparoscopic methods such as salpingo-oophorectomy, oophorectomy, ethanol infusion therapy, ovarian cystectomy and vaporization of polycystic ovary syndrome, are useful. For tubal tubal diseases, adhesiolysis, fimbrioplasty and salpingostomy for tubal infertility, are effective laparoscopic procedures. Finally, for ectopic pregnancy, salpigostomy and salpingectomy are in many cases the preferred surgical option.
