laparoscopy Insights

What is laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source) is inserted to view the abdominal organs. It is commonly used for diagnosis and surgical interventions, such as gallbladder removal, appendectomy, biopsies, and hernia repair. It's a minimally invasive surgery.
