laparoscope

A laparoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument equipped with a camera and light, used in minimally invasive surgery. It allows doctors to see inside the body without making large incisions. A small incision is made, and the laparoscope is inserted, providing a real-time view of the organs on a monitor. This technique minimizes pain, reduces recovery time, and lowers the risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery. It’s commonly used for procedures in the abdomen or pelvis, such as gallbladder removal or appendectomies.
