LAPAROSCOPY

Laparoscopy is a recent advancement in the diagnostic and surgical field. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that enables a surgeon to look at the organs inside our body. In addition to its diagnostic value, it also operates on the organs inside the abdomen and pelvic area.

The surgeon makes three to four small incisions on your abdomen. From one incision, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope to view the area. The surgeon uses other small surgical incisions to insert small instruments to treat the problem.
