Visual Clarity. Surgical Precision. Unmatched Insight.
At Sparsh IVF, we believe that the most effective fertility treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis — one that goes beyond blood tests and scans. In complex infertility cases, Diagnostic Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy offer a real-time, minimally invasive view of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures.
These advanced procedures help us detect issues that are often missed by ultrasound or X-ray — and allow us to diagnose and sometimes treat the problem in the same sitting.
A procedure that involves inserting a thin, lighted telescope-like device (hysteroscope) through the cervix into the uterus. It allows your doctor to directly visualize the uterine lining and cavity for abnormalities.
A minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small camera (laparoscope) is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen. It helps visualize the external surface of reproductive organs and pelvic cavity.
When performed together, they provide a 360° diagnostic view of internal reproductive anatomy — critical in unexplained infertility and repeated IVF failures.
Sparsh IVF may advise diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopy if:
| Procedure | Detects |
|---|---|
| Hysteroscopy | Uterine polyps, fibroids, adhesions (Asherman’s), septum, lining abnormalities |
| Laparoscopy | Endometriosis, tubal blockage, hydrosalpinx, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts, fibroids, ectopic lesions |
Many of these findings are invisible in standard imaging, making these diagnostic tools essential for IVF planning.
| Hysteroscopy | Laparoscopy |
|---|---|
| No cuts or stitches — the scope is passed vaginally. | 2–3 tiny incisions (5mm each) in the lower abdomen. |
| A saline or CO₂ solution expands the uterus for visibility. | Gas is used to expand the abdominal cavity. |
| Procedure time: 10–20 minutes. | The surgeon inspects the uterus, tubes, ovaries, and pelvic cavity. |
| Most patients are discharged the same day. | If minor abnormalities are found, they may be corrected in the same sitting. |
| Procedure time: 30–60 minutes. |
