- Imaging: An ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and surgical plan.
- Consultation: Detailed discussion with your gynaecologist about the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives.
- Medication Review: Inform your doctor of all medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.
- Fasting: No food or drink (as instructed) for 6-8 hours before surgery.

Risks & possible complications
- Standard Surgical Risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, or blood clots.

- Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg), strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 2-6 weeks as advised.
- Incision Care: Keep small laparoscopic incisions clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge).
- Follow-up: A post-operative check-up with your gynaecologist is usually scheduled within 2-4 weeks.

Myra Kumar, a 42-year-old marketing director...
Myra Kumar, a 42-year-old marketing director and mother of two, had a history of severe pelvic pain and heavy periods. After years of managing symptoms with medication, a diagnostic laparoscopy revealed extensive endometriosis and a large, persistent cyst on her left fallopian tube. Her obstetrician-gynaecologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a laparoscopic salpingectomy to remove the diseased tube, explaining it would alleviate her pain and eliminate the risk of the cyst complicating. Myra was anxious about surgery but hopeful for relief. The procedure went smoothly. After a week of rest with moderate discomfort managed by medication, she returned to light duties. Within a month, her chronic pelvic pain had significantly diminished. Emotionally, Myra moved from frustration and exhaustion after years of pain to profound relief and gratitude. She felt she had regained control over her life and body, though she processed a quiet sense of loss for a part of her reproductive anatomy, even though her family was complete.
