Laparoscopic Camera

The surgeon will then make one or more incisions on the abdomen. These incisions measure between 0.5 and 1.5 cm. The laparoscope, which is a slender tube, like a miniature telescope, is then inserted through this incision accompanied with a cold light and surgical tools. The cold light illuminates the inside of the affected parts for better capturing of the images by the camera and transmitting it onto the monitor. Through laparoscopy, the whole pelvis is cautiously scanned and the organs like the uterus, the fallopian tubes, the ovaries and the lining of the abdomen, called the peritoneum is inspected thoroughly. Apart from looking for infections affecting these structures, the surgeon also looks for adhesions , endometriosis and tubercles. In the case of abnormalities, the doctor can also obtain biopsy samples and even perform minor surgical procedures.
