Laparoscopy

To diagnose certain problems, a doctor needs to look directly into the abdomen and at the reproductive organs. This can be done with laparoscopy.

The word laparoscopy comes from the Greek words that mean "look into abdomen." A laparoscope is a small telescope that is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision (cut). it brings light into the abdomen so the doctor can see inside. Laparoscopy is usually done on an outpatient basis-you don't have to stay in the hospital overnight.
