A laparoscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure that is performed by a highly-trained surgeon to gain an unparalleled view of the internal structures in your belly or pelvis. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that require large incisions, laparoscopic surgery is carried out using small incisions, which leads to a faster and less painful recovery period. This procedure involves inserting a laparoscope – a thin, flexible tube fitted with a camera – through the small incision to explore and examine the organs and tissues in the abdominal or pelvic region.
