lacroscopy

Laparoscopy is a procedure in which a doctor uses a special tool called a laparoscope to look inside your body. The laparoscope is a thin tube with a light and camera lens on one end. The doctor passes the laparoscope into your body through a small incision and is able to see inside your body without having to do open surgery. The doctor can use the images from the laparoscope to find and fix problems such as cysts, blockages, and other issues.
