Physiological sequelae after laparoscopic test tube infant surgery

Laparoscopic IVF surgery is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is used to treat infertility. Although this operation is very effective in solving fertility problems, it will also bring some sequelae. The following will elaborate on the sequelae of laparoscopic IVF surgery from the physiological aspects.

1. Surgical wound complications

Laparoscopic IVF surgery needs to be performed through the abdomen, so a small laparoscopic incision will be created during the surgery. Although the incision is very small, complications such as infection, bleeding and wound dehiscence may still occur. These complications may require further treatment or surgical repair.

In addition, there are often edema, ecchymosis and pain around the navel after the operation. These discomfort usually disappear in a few days to weeks, but patients need to maintain good incision care and follow the doctor's advice in the postoperative rehabilitation process.

2. Other physiological reactions

After laparoscopic IVF surgery, some patients may suffer from nausea, vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea, low back pain and muscle soreness. Most of these symptoms are temporary reactions caused by surgical stimulation and postoperative anesthetic drugs, and usually gradually alleviate with rehabilitation.

In addition, since the abdominal cavity needs to be filled with gas (such as carbon dioxide) during the operation for better observation and operation, there may be gas flu return with discomfort in the shoulder or chest. This is caused by the stimulation of the diaphragm by filling gas, which generally relieves itself within 24 to 48 hours.

3. Formation of intraperitoneal adhesion

Laparoscopic IVF surgery may stimulate the abdominal tissue and cause inflammatory reaction when operating inside the abdominal cavity. This inflammatory reaction may lead to the formation of intraperitoneal adhesion, that is, the tissues inside the abdominal cavity stick together. Intraperitoneal adhesion may lead to abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, infertility and other problems. Fortunately, proper rehabilitation exercise and medication after laparoscopic surgery can help prevent and solve this problem.

4. Psychological pressure

Laparoscopic IVF surgery is a therapeutic method that requires a long time and many attempts. For some patients, this operation may bring psychological pressure. After many failed IVF operations, patients may suffer from depression, anxiety, depression and other psychological problems. Therefore, in the process of this operation, we should carry out all-round nursing together with psychological experts to help patients cope with possible psychological pressure.

In conclusion, although laparoscopic IVF surgery is very effective in solving fertility problems, there are also some physiological sequelae that patients need to face. These sequelae involve surgical wound complications, other physiological reactions, intra-abdominal adhesions and psychological pressure. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the care of the medical team, many sequelae can be prevented or treated, so as to alleviate the problems of patients.
