Ovarian laparoscopic surgery generally does not affect growth and development. This procedure is a minimally invasive surgery characterized by small incisions and rapid recovery, usually having minimal impact on the body and causing no significant disruption to growth and development. However, the specific effects may vary depending on individual patient factors. Although ovarian laparoscopic surgery itself has little influence on growth and development, electrosurgical techniques such as electrocoagulation and electrocautery used during the procedure may cause some degree of damage to ovarian tissue, potentially affecting normal ovulation and menstrual regularity. Therefore, when performing ovarian laparoscopic surgery, physicians must carefully consider the patient's age, medical condition, and potential surgical risks to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
