General Surgery and Endoscopy
Laparoscopy is a procedure where a thin, lighted tube is inserted in your abdomen through a tiny incision. The Surgeon can look through the laparoscope into your abdominal and pelvic cavity and can see whether the Uterus, tubes and ovaries have any pathology.
To the end of the laparoscope is attached a video camera ,which allows us to view and record the image and thus the terminology Video Laparoscopy.If incase any pathology is found during diagnostic Laparoscopy, the Doctors prefer to do operative Laproscopy and corrective action at the same sitting so that the patient does not have to undergo another surgical procedure.
