Surgery

These techniques are always performed under general anaesthetic. For some of the more complicated interventions it is not unusual for you to be admitted the evening before the operation.

Laparoscopic surgery

Many of the surgically treated causes of infertility can today be tackled using a laparoscope. The advantage of this is that the incision through the skin is much smaller than in the “usual” surgery, so patients are not upset so much by the operation and can often even go home the same day.

Microsurgery

Some surgical interventions require special technical precision, which can only be achieved by the use of an operating microscope.
