diagnostic laparoscopy

Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine the inside of the abdomen and pelvis. A small camera, called a laparoscope, is inserted through a tiny incision in the skin, allowing doctors to view internal organs such as the liver, ovaries, or intestines on a monitor. This technique helps diagnose conditions like unexplained pain, abnormal growths, or infertility. Because it involves small cuts instead of a large open operation, it typically results in less pain, faster recovery, and more accurate assessment of abdominal issues.
