Recovering from gynaecological laparoscopy: what to expect - Online interview

Description:

"In gynaecology, the common reasons we do laparoscopy are because of pelvic pain, when [patients] suffer from symptoms of endometriosis, when they have an ectopic pregnancy, when they have scar tissue causing pain, and also certain operative procedures."
