Laparoscopic surgery for adenomyosis in Chennai offers an effective, minimally invasive solution for women suffering from persistent symptoms of this condition. Adenomyosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscular wall, causing an enlarged uterus, heavy menstrual bleeding, and severe pelvic pain. Commonly affecting women in their 30s and 40s, it can disrupt daily life and fertility if left untreated.
While hormonal medications may provide temporary relief, laparoscopic surgery is ideal for cases that do not respond to conservative treatment, especially focal adenomyosis. At Unittas Hospital, our expert gynecologists perform advanced laparoscopic adenomyomectomy to remove affected tissue, preserve the uterus, and ensure faster recovery with minimal scarring.
Preserve your uterus with advanced minimally invasive surgery
Call Now: 044-4012-4012Adenomyosis involves the endometrial tissue invading the myometrium, the uterus's thick muscle layer, causing it to thicken and bleed excessively during cycles. Unlike endometriosis, where tissue grows outside the uterus, adenomyosis stays within its walls but can mimic similar discomfort.
Risk factors encompass multiple pregnancies, prior uterine surgeries like C-sections, and ages 35-50, though the exact cause remains unclear. Diagnosis typically starts with a pelvic exam, followed by transvaginal ultrasound to spot irregularities, and MRI for detailed confirmation of tissue invasion.
Early intervention prevents complications like infertility or chronic pain, with conservative approaches favored for women wishing to retain fertility.
Laparoscopic surgery suits women with focal adenomyosis, localized lesions rather than widespread involvement whose symptoms resist medical management. It's ideal for those prioritizing uterus preservation and future pregnancies.
Surgery is generally avoided in diffuse adenomyosis, where hysterectomy may be more definitive. Our Unittas Hospital specialists conduct thorough evaluations, including hormone level checks and imaging, to tailor recommendations.
Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy uses small incisions and a camera-guided scope to precisely remove adenomyotic tissue while sparing healthy uterus. Performed under general anesthesia, it lasts 1-3 hours and often incorporates techniques like transient occlusion of uterine arteries (TOUA) to minimize bleeding.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Fasting for 8 hours; pre-op MRI/ultrasound review; antibiotic prophylaxis |
| 2. Access | 3-4 tiny abdominal incisions (0.5-1 cm); CO2 gas inflates abdomen for visibility |
| 3. Exploration | Laparoscope inserted via umbilical port; uterus manipulated to expose lesion |
| 4. Excision | Arteries clipped briefly (TOUA); monopolar energy incises myometrium; lesion removed with scissors, preserving 5 mm margins |
| 5. Reconstruction | Defect closed in 3 layers with absorbable sutures to restore uterine shape and prevent dead space |
| 6. Completion | Tissue extracted via port; clips released; incisions sealed with glue or stitches |
This fertility-sparing method allows same-day or overnight discharge, contrasting with more invasive options.
Opting for laparoscopy provides targeted relief with modern advantages:
Patients experience enhanced well-being, with many resuming exercise and intimacy sooner.
| Factor | Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy | Hysterectomy |
|---|---|---|
| Uterus Preservation | Yes | No |
| Procedure Time | 1-3 hours | 2-4 hours |
| Hospital Stay | 1 day | 2-5 days |
| Recovery Period | 1-2 weeks | 4-6 weeks |
| Fertility Impact | Preserved | Ends natural pregnancy |
| Recurrence Risk | 10-30% | None |
Though safe with complication rates under 5%, awareness empowers informed decisions. Unittas Hospital mitigates risks through expert oversight and advanced monitoring.
Pre-existing endometriosis may elevate risks slightly, discussed during consultations.

Focal adenomyosis involves isolated lesions suitable for laparoscopic excision, while diffuse spreads throughout the uterus, often requiring hysterectomy.
It can cause tubal blockages or inflammation, reducing conception rates by 30-50%; laparoscopy clears these for better odds.
Often yes, like an IUD for residual tissue control, extending relief up to 3 years.
General anesthesia ensures comfort; local options are rare for abdominal access.
Yes, combined excision is common if fibroids contribute to symptoms.
Via transvaginal ultrasound or MRI; lesions over 5 cm may need adjusted techniques.
Focus on iron-rich foods (spinach, lean meats) to rebuild blood post-bleeding, plus anti-inflammatory options like berries.
Most plans do for medically indicated cases; pre-authorization via our team streamlines it.
Wait 3-6 months for healing; success rates reach 60% in preserved cases.
Early ultrasounds detect it; options include repeat meds or IUD adjustment before re-intervention.
No direct link, but family history of endometriosis may slightly elevate risk.
Ablation targets lining only, less effective for deep adenomyosis; surgery addresses root invasion.
