Laparoscopy Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis. It involves making small incisions through which a thin, lighted camera called a laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted. This allows doctors to view and operate on internal organs with precision, reducing recovery time and minimizing scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopy is commonly used for treating conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and infertility-related issues. The procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and offers patients faster healing and less postoperative pain.
