Laparoscopic surgery utilizes a laparoscope—an advanced instrument equipped with a camera—to view pelvic organs through small abdominal incisions. This technique allows for the performance of complex procedures while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Diagnostic laparoscopic surgery is particularly valuable for identifying the underlying causes of symptoms such as pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. During this procedure, your provider may conduct a biopsy or remove fibroids and lesions as necessary.
