Diagnostic Laparoscopy
What can I expect?
- After the operation, you will go to the recovery room, where you will be carefully watched until the anaesthetic medications have worn off. Even though you may feel fully awake, the effects of anaesthetic may continue for a few hours or as long as a day.
- You can expect some soreness and bruising around any incision site. Your pain should improve every day.
- You may have pain in the shoulder/neck or upper abdomen because of the carbon dioxide inserted into your abdomen. This may last for up to 48 hours, but should go away as you resume your normal activities.
