Pelvic Adhesions - Pelviscopy

A ruptured appendix, previous pelvic surgery, pelvic infection or an IUD may cause pelvic adhesions. This painful scar tissue may contribute to infertility or be a cause of chronic pelvic pain. Pelvic adhesions or tubal disease are often suspected from your history, but need to be confirmed by laparoscopy. Laser therapy, either at the time of outpatient laparoscopy or inpatient Microlaser treatment, is usually successful in reducing your pain and improving fertility. Recently, the use of the daVinci robot system offers hope to alleviate pain through minimally invasive surgery (pelviscopy).
