Laparoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube called a laparoscope through a small incision (usually near the navel). The laparoscope has a light and a high-resolution camera, which sends real-time images to a monitor, allowing surgeons to see inside the body without making large cuts.
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine and operate on organs inside the abdomen or pelvis. It is also known as keyhole surgery due to the small incisions involved.
