Diagnostic Laparoscopy

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen and pelvis. During this procedure, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera, known as a laparoscope, is inserted through a small incision in the abdominal wall. This allows doctors to view images of the internal organs on a monitor, providing valuable insights into various conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or unexplained abdominal pain. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may involve additional small incisions if surgical intervention is needed. Diagnostic laparoscopy is favored for its relatively quick recovery time, reduced risk of complications compared to open surgery, and its ability to provide accurate diagnostic information that can guide subsequent treatment plans.
