laparoscopic pelvic surgery

Laparoscopic pelvic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat conditions within the pelvic region. Surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen to insert a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope, which allows them to see inside with a camera. Special instruments are used through additional small incisions to perform procedures such as removal of cysts, endometriosis treatment, or repair of organs. Because the incisions are small, recovery time is typically shorter, pain is less, and there are fewer scars compared to traditional open surgery.
