Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine and operate on the abdominal and pelvic organs. It involves making small incisions, typically 0.5 to 1 cm in size, through which a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) and other surgical instruments are inserted. This method is often preferred over traditional open surgery due to its benefits, including reduced recovery time and less postoperative pain.

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows doctors to view the internal organs of the abdomen and pelvis using a laparoscope, which is equipped with a camera and light source. The procedure may be diagnostic (to examine the organs) or therapeutic (to treat conditions).

Laparoscopy is used in a variety of medical specialties, including general surgery, gynecology, and urology. It offers a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce the impact of surgical procedures.
