Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis: Restoring Fertility by Releasing Pelvic Adhesions
Pelvic adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can cause organs like the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus to stick together. These "silent" barriers are a major cause of chronic Pelvic Pain and tubal infertility. At Aikya Fertility, we specialize in Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis—a precision "keyhole" surgery to safely release these adhesions, restoring your natural anatomy and improving the success rates of IUI and natural conception.

What you need to know
Understanding Pelvic Adhesions
Adhesions typically form as a result of previous surgeries, endometriosis, or pelvic infections such as STDs and Infections. When scar tissue forms around the fallopian tubes, it can prevent the egg from meeting the sperm. At Aikya, we use Diagnostic Laparoscopy to identify these adhesions, which are often invisible on standard X-rays or ultrasounds.
The Aikya Adhesiolysis Protocol: Step-by-Step
- Surgical Mapping: Identifying the likely source of adhesions (past C-sections, appendicitis, or PID) at our J.P. Nagar or Raghuvanahalli Branch.
- Anesthesia: Performed under general anesthesia in our advanced Facilities for complete comfort.
- Microsurgical Release: Using fine laparoscopic instruments to gently "snip" or vaporize the scar tissue (adhesiolysis) without damaging the underlying organs.
- Tubal Patency Check: Performing a dye test to ensure the fallopian tubes are free and functional after the release.
- Anti-Adhesion Barriers: Applying specialized gels or solutions during surgery to prevent new scar tissue from forming during the healing process.
Precision Surgery & Future Fertility
The goal of adhesiolysis at Aikya is to restore the "mobility" of the pelvic organs. For fertility to be successful, the fallopian tubes must be able to move freely to "pick up" the egg. Our surgeons prioritize tissue-sparing techniques, which are essential for patients moving toward IVF Treatment. By clearing the pelvic environment, we reduce inflammation and improve the health of the uterine environment.
