Laparoscopy, This is a modern and minimally invasive (closed) surgical method that allows the inside of the abdomen to be viewed with a special camera system. The abdominal cavity is inflated with carbon dioxide gas through a thin needle, and a camera inserted through this space allows the internal organs to be viewed in detail.
