Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed using special instruments – a laparoscope, which allows access to the abdominal cavity and enables the necessary surgery to be performed. A laparoscope is a narrow telescope with a light guide that is inserted into the abdominal cavity through small incisions (1-2 cm) in the skin. After the surgery, the skin is closed with sutures. After the operation, there may be pulling pains in the lower abdomen, slight bloody discharge for up to 2 weeks, as well as side effects of anesthesia (e.g., nausea, vomiting). Painkillers can be taken if necessary. After the procedure, you should not drive, lift heavy objects, or take hot baths.
