Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed with special instruments – a laparoscope – which allows access to the abdominal cavity to carry out the necessary operation. A laparoscope is a narrow telescope with a light guide, inserted into the abdominal cavity through small skin incisions (1-2 cm). After the operation, the skin is closed with sutures. Post-operatively, you may experience dull pain in the lower abdomen, minor bloody discharge for up to 2 weeks, and anesthesia side effects (e.g., nausea, vomiting). Painkillers can be used if needed. After the procedure, you should not drive a car, lift heavy objects, or take a hot bath.
