Abstract :

Objectives: To study time– motion of hysterolaparoscopy in endoscopy operation theatre. To find out various factors which cause delay in procedure and suggest corrective measures. Material and methods: 20 women with infertility were randomly selected for the study. Time–motion was recorded by an independent observer for various steps starting from shifting the patient to operation theatre to shifting those out of operation theatre. The data collected was tabulated and analyzed using statistical methods. Results: Delays were detected in various steps of the procedure. The factors which caused delay included equipment failure, insufficiently trained medical personnel, patient factors like obesity and previous surgeries making present surgery difficult, additional surgical procedures, and inadequate OT staff. Conclusions: Considering all the factors causing delays in various steps of Hysterolaporoscopy, few corrective measures were suggested. They are intense training of medical personnel, properly maintained surgical, anaesthesia and supportive electrical equipment, frequent stock–checks of necessary drugs, and encouraging supporting OT staff for quick and timely action.
