Women with unexplained infertility.
Laparoscopy
A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat fertility-related conditions. Laparoscopy allows doctors to assess the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries with precision—helping identify and treat hidden causes of infertility with minimal recovery time.
What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure widely used in fertility care. It involves inserting a small camera (laparoscope) through a tiny incision in the abdomen to observe the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in real time. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and allows doctors to both diagnose and treat various reproductive conditions in a single intervention.
At Genesis Athens, experienced specialists perform laparoscopies using state-of-the-art technology in a safe and controlled environment. The procedure is frequently recommended for investigating unexplained infertility, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or fibroids, as well as for treating tubal blockages or pelvic adhesions — all with minimal scarring and short recovery times.
Thanks to minimally invasive surgery, recovery is usually fast and complete, with minimal discomfort and short hospital stay.
Who is Laparoscopy for?
Patients suspected of having endometriosis or pelvic adhesions.
Women with a history of pelvic infections or pain.
Treatment steps
Your step-by-step guide to Laparoscopy
Every treatment at Genesis follows a structured, personalised process designed to support you medically and emotionally at every stage. From the first consultation to post-treatment care, we are here to guide you with clarity, expertise, and compassion. While each treatment has its own clinical steps, the journey always begins with understanding your individual needs and building a plan that gives you the best possible chance of success.
Laparoscopy
You will meet with a fertility specialist to review your symptoms, medical history, and previous test results. If laparoscopy is recommended, your procedure will be carefully planned.
You may need blood tests, imaging, and fasting before surgery. Our team will guide you through all necessary steps to ensure you are ready for the procedure.
Under general anaesthesia, a small incision is made near the navel. A laparoscope is inserted to examine the reproductive organs. If needed, surgical tools are used to treat visible issues.
Most patients return home the same day. You may experience mild discomfort for a few days. Our team will provide clear post-operative instructions and pain management.
Your doctor will review the findings and any treatments performed. Based on results, a personalised fertility plan will be discussed with you.

F.A.Q.
Laparoscopy F.A.Q.
We know that starting fertility treatment often comes with many questions — about the process, the risks, and what to expect. In this section, we address some of the most common concerns to help you feel more confident and informed.
If you do not see your question here, our team is always available to provide further guidance, personalised to your specific situation.
The procedure is done under general anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort or bloating is normal for a few days after the procedure.
Most patients recover within 3 to 5 days. You may return to normal activities shortly after, depending on your doctor’s advice.
Laparoscopy can diagnose and treat endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, adhesions, tubal blockages, and other pelvic abnormalities affecting fertility.
That depends on the findings. In many cases, laparoscopy resolves the issue. In others, it helps guide the next steps in your fertility plan, such as IVF or IUI.
No. Laparoscopy is recommended only when imaging or symptoms suggest a condition that may be better assessed or treated surgically.
As with any surgery, risks are low but can include infection, bleeding, or reaction to anaesthesia. Our surgical team takes all precautions to ensure your safety.
