Dr Jasdev Singh
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Keyhole surgery lets the pelvis be seen directly, to find causes of pain or infertility such as endometriosis, adhesions or blocked tubes.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Looking directly inside the pelvis to find answers
In laparoscopy, a thin camera is passed through a small cut near the belly button. The womb, tubes and ovaries can be seen clearly on a screen. A dye test can check whether the tubes are open.
When scans and tests have not explained your symptoms, laparoscopy can give clear answers.
Dr Jasdev can often treat problems such as endometriosis or adhesions during the same operation, with your consent.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.
What laparoscopy gives you
- A direct view of the womb, tubes and ovaries
- A check of whether the tubes are open
- Treatment of some problems in the same operation
How your care is planned
Each stage is explained so you know why surgery is being considered, what it involves and how recovery will go. You can take time to decide.
Review symptoms, scans and fertility tests
Perform the laparoscopy under general anaesthetic
Explain the findings and plan next steps
How laparoscopy works
Under general anaesthetic, the tummy is gently filled with gas to create space. A camera is inserted through a small cut at the belly button, and one or two other small cuts may be made for instruments. The operation usually takes thirty to sixty minutes.
Who may benefit
Women with ongoing pelvic pain, suspected endometriosis, or infertility where the tubes or pelvis need checking. It may also be advised when a scan finding needs a closer look.
What to expect
Most women go home the same day or the next morning. Shoulder tip pain from the gas and tummy soreness are common for a few days. Most women return to normal activities within one to two weeks.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

Who is it suitable for?
Women with pelvic pain, suspected endometriosis or unexplained infertility, when other tests have not given answers.
What tests are needed first?
A pelvic ultrasound, blood tests and a health check before surgery.
