What is a laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a diagnostic procedure . A surgeon uses a small device with a light and a camera attached to see organ damage and illness more clearly.During laparoscopy, the doctor inserts the laparoscope through a very small incision in the abdomen. Then a catheter is inserted . This makes it easier to see the organs in the belly and pelvis . The surgeon may sometimes supplement a laparoscopy by inserting additional surgical instruments through the sites of the incisions. During a laparoscopy, the patient may have up to four small incisions made.In a laparoscopy, a medical practitioner may also use a uterine manipulator, which is inserted through the vagina, cervix, and uterus to allow movement of the pelvic organs and to view the different pelvic anatomy. When the treatment is completed, the surgeon will remove all the devices, close the incisions with stitches, put little bandages over the area, and remove most of the carbon dioxide from the belly.
