Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure utilised to diagnose and treat abdominal or pelvic conditions. It involves small incisions through which a laparoscope is inserted, providing high-resolution images. Common uses of laparoscopy include gallbladder removal, endometriosis treatment, and hernia repair. Recovery time is generally shorter compared to traditional surgery.
