Laparoscopy is referred to as diagnostic laparoscopy. It is a diagnostic surgical procedure that is useful for the examination of organs inside your abdomen. It is a minimally invasive and low-risk procedure that only requires small incisions.
Laparoscopy is done with the help of an instrument that is known as a laparoscope. It helps the doctor to have a look at your abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a thin, long tube with a high-resolution and high-intensity light and camera. After making an incision, the doctor will insert the laparoscope. When it moves, the camera will send certain images that a monitor will receive.
Why is laparoscopy necessary?
Laparoscopy is important for diagnosing and identifying the source of abdominal or pelvic pain. It is performed with the help of non-invasive methods that cannot help with the diagnosis.
In certain cases, abdominal issues can be diagnosed with some imaging techniques like-
- MRI scan; uses radio waves and magnets to produce body images
- CT scan; is a special kind of x-ray that takes cross-sectional body images
- Ultrasound; uses sound waves of high frequency to create images of your body
Your doctor can recommend laparoscopy for the examination of the following organs-
- Reproductive organs or pelvis
- Stomach
- Spleen
- Large intestine (colon) and small intestine
- Pancreas
- Liver
