Laparoscopy

A laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to examine the inside of your abdomen or pelvis without the need for a large incision. It is commonly used to diagnose and, in some cases, treat various conditions affecting these areas.

For a laparoscopy, a surgeon creates a small incision, typically about half an inch or less, near your belly button. Through this incision, the surgeon inserts a slender tube equipped with a camera to view the inside of your body.

This device is known as a laparoscope. It features a camera that transmits images from within your body to a video monitor, enabling the surgeon to view the inside of your body.

During a laparoscopy, the surgeon may use specialized instruments to address various issues. For instance, if a tumor is detected during the procedure, the surgeon can remove it in the same operation. Many routine surgical treatments can be effectively performed using laparoscopic techniques.
