What Is Diagnostic Laparoscopy?

It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a thin, lighted camera (laparoscope) is inserted through a small incision near the navel. The camera transmits images to a screen, giving your surgeon a clear view of your pelvic organs.

Common indications include chronic pelvic pain that has not responded to treatment, suspected endometriosis, unexplained infertility, evaluation of fallopian tubes, and investigation of abnormal findings on imaging.
