Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen or pelvis. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) is inserted through the incision to allow the surgeon to view the internal area on a monitor. Laparoscopy is often used for diagnostic purposes, but it can also be used to perform surgeries, such as removing organs, repairing tissues, or treating conditions like endometriosis or gallbladder disease. The benefits of laparoscopy over traditional surgery include smaller incisions, less pain, shorter recovery time, and a lower risk of infection.
