A device similar to an endoscope that is used to view internal structures of the abdominal cavity. The laparoscope is inserted through a small incision and other specialized instruments may be inserted in other nearby small incisions to perform surgical interventions.
An instrument through which structures within the abdomen and pelvis can be seen. A small surgical incision (cut) is made in the abdominal wall to permit the laparoscope to enter the abdomen or pelvis. A diversity of tubes can be pushed through the same incision or other small incisions permitting the introduction of probes and other instruments. In this way, a number of surgical procedures can be performed without the need for a large surgical incision. See the entire definition of Laparoscope
