Question

1. What steps performed in a traditional vaginal hysterectomy may be performed laparoscopically?

What is the advantage of the laparoscopic approach?

2. Briefly describe how the sequence of events for an emergency cesarean section (e.g., prolapsed umbilical cord, placenta abruption) may differ from a planned cesarean section.

Answer 1

1) small incisions through the abdominal wall. Followed by insertion of small slender tubes called trocars. This is done to make a passage for laparoscope and other microsurgical tools. The laparoscope is a tiny telescope. A camera attached to it helps to view the inside in the television. Using the laparoscopic tools, the uterus is detached from its ligaments. Fallopian tube and ovaries are also detached in the same way. Then they are removed with an incision in the vagina.

Advantage is that just a small incision is needed to do the process. So scarring is less.
