Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery for fertility
60-second summary
Keyhole surgery uses a tiny camera and thin instruments through small cuts in the belly. It can find and treat problems like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, damaged tubes and some fibroids. It is not needed for everyone, so it is best to decide with a fertility specialist after basic tests, including your partner's semen test.
