A significant technological advance, laparoscopic surgery allows us to view the inside of a patient's abdomen, including the reproductive organs, through a small, tube-like device known as a laproscope.

The laproscope functions like a lighted telescope inside the patient's body. It allows us a clearer view of the internal organs in a minimally invasive way. Laparoscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia. The abdomen is filled with a carbon dioxide gas, and the laparoscope is inserted through a small incision. The gas is removed after the procedure is completed, and the incision is stitched. One common use of laparoscopic surgery is for diagnosing endometriosis, but it has other uses as well.
