Use of a fiberoptic surgical device to view the inside of the body through a small incision.
A surgical instrument (a type of endoscope) comprising an illuminated viewing tube that is inserted through the abdominal wall to enable the surgeon to view the organs in the abdomen.
An instrument consisting, essentially, of a rigid or flexible cylinder, an eyepiece and a light source, which is inserted through a small incision into the abdominal cavity (which has already been distended with carbon dioxide gas). The laparoscope allows the contents of the abdominal cavity to be examined without performing a laparotomy. Some operations may be performed using the laparoscope to guide the manipulation of instruments inserted through another small incision for example, sterilization; cholecystectomy.
An endoscope designed to permit visual examination of the abdominal cavity.
A remarkable medical device known as an endoscope empowers surgeons to visualize the contents of the abdominal cavity. This instrument comprises a slender tube equipped with advanced imaging capabilities, allowing for the transmission of real-time visuals to a television monitor. By leveraging this cutting-edge technology, surgeons can gain valuable insights into the internal structures of the abdomen, aiding in diagnostic and surgical interventions.
