Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a common infection that affects the female reproductive organs, often caused by sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. If not treated on time, it can lead to serious complications including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. While antibiotics remain the first line of treatment, Laparoscopic surgery for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is recommended when symptoms persist, complications develop, or precise diagnosis is required.
This minimally invasive procedure allows doctors to assess and treat internal damage with greater accuracy, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. At Unittas Hospital, our experienced gynecologists utilize advanced techniques in laparoscopic surgery for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease to ensure effective treatment, reduced hospital stay, and improved patient outcomes.

Call Now: 044-4012-4012PID occurs when bacteria from the vagina or cervix travel upward to infect the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. It typically affects women of reproductive age and can cause symptoms like lower abdominal pain, fever, unusual vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, or irregular bleeding. Early diagnosis through pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and lab tests is crucial to prevent long-term damage.
Most cases respond well to oral or intravenous antibiotics, but in about 10-15% of patients, the infection may not fully resolve, leading to abscesses (pockets of pus) or scar tissue formation. This is where laparoscopic surgery plays a vital role in confirming the diagnosis and providing targeted treatment.
Laparoscopic surgery is not routine for PID but is recommended in specific scenarios:
Our team at Unittas Hospital evaluates each patient individually to determine if laparoscopy is the best approach, ensuring conservative treatments are exhausted first.
Laparoscopy for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is a minimally invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia to diagnose and manage PID complications. It involves making small incisions (0.5–1 cm) in the lower abdomen to insert a laparoscope, while carbon dioxide gas is used to create space for clear visibility. This allows doctors to accurately detect and treat infections or damage with minimal pain, reduced scarring, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | The patient fasts for 8 hours; pre-op blood tests and imaging confirm the plan |
| 2. Incision and Access | One incision near the navel for the laparoscope; 1-2 additional for surgical tools |
| 3. Visualization | Surgeons view organs on a monitor, identifying inflammation, abscesses, or adhesions |
| 4. Intervention | Tools drain pus, biopsy tissue for infection testing, or release scar tissue. In severe cases, damaged tubes may be removed |
| 5. Closure | Gas is released, incisions closed with stitches or glue; procedure lasts 30-90 minutes |
This approach minimizes tissue trauma compared to open surgery, reducing hospital stays to same-day discharge in many cases.
Choosing laparoscopy offers several advantages for managing PID:
| Factor | Laparoscopic | Open Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Incision Size | Small (0.5-1 cm) | Large (5-10 cm) |
| Hospital Stay | Same day or 1 night | 3-5 days |
| Recovery Time | 1-2 weeks | 4-6 weeks |
| Scarring | Minimal | Noticeable |
| Complication Risk | Lower (1-5%) | Higher (5-10%) |
While laparoscopic surgery is generally safe, all procedures carry some risks. At Unittas Hospital, we prioritize patient safety with thorough pre-op assessments and post-op monitoring. Common considerations include:
