Private Laparoscopy in Sutton Coldfield
Minimally invasive keyhole laparoscopy to diagnose and treat endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and fertility problems. Same-week consultant. Published price.
What is laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a small camera is inserted through a tiny incision near the navel, allowing the gynaecologist to visualise the pelvic organs directly. It is the definitive investigation for conditions including endometriosis and pelvic adhesions — conditions that are invisible on ultrasound and MRI.
Beyond diagnosis, the same laparoscopic approach can be used to treat conditions found during the procedure — removing endometrial deposits, draining or removing ovarian cysts, and dividing adhesions. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 30–60 minutes for diagnostic purposes, longer if extensive treatment is required.

- Suspected endometriosis not confirmed by imaging

- Ovarian cysts requiring assessment or removal
- Pelvic adhesions causing pain or fertility problems

What happens at The Vesey
From your first consultation to discharge — here is what to expect at every stage.
Consultant assessment
Review of your history, examination, and any imaging results. Your consultant will discuss whether laparoscopy is the most appropriate next step and what it aims to find or treat.
Pre-operative assessment
Blood tests, ECG if needed, and anaesthetic review.
Laparoscopy
Under general anaesthesia, carbon dioxide gas is introduced to inflate the abdomen. The laparoscope is inserted through a small incision and the pelvis is systematically examined. Treatment is performed through additional small incisions if required.
Recovery
Patients are typically discharged the same day or after one night. Shoulder tip pain from the gas usually resolves within 48 hours.
Recovery — what to expect
Most patients return to light activities within 3–5 days and normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Return to work depends on the procedure performed and the nature of the job.
Your consultant will provide you with a personalised recovery plan at your assessment appointment, based on your individual procedure, health status, and activity requirements.
