Laparoscopy
This procedure has set new standards for patient care because
it allows surgeons to perform procedures without the trauma
and pain of a large incision. Instead, a narrow telescope-like
instrument is inserted through a small incision in the navel,
which allows the surgeon to clearly and closely view reproductive
and other organs via a video monitor. Other specially designed
surgical instruments are inserted through two or three very
small abdominal incisions, which only require a stitch or
two following the completion of the procedure.
