What is a laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that enables the seeing and operating of organs located in the abdomen without opening the abdominal wall by introducing a mini-camera through the navel.

How is a laparoscopy done?
First, a laparoscopy requires general anesthesia. Once the patient is asleep, a harmless gas is injected gradually into the abdomen to create a workspace. A tiny incision is made in the navel through which the laparoscope (long thin tube that transmits what is happening inside the womb live on a television screen) is inserted. Two to three other small incisions are made in the lower abdomen through which surgical instruments like long fine forceps are passed.
