What is Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery?
Laparoscopic gynecological surgery is a sophisticated surgical technique that replaces large abdominal incisions with 3 or 4 miniature keyhole punctures (5 to 10mm). A miniature high-definition telescope (laparoscope) transmits magnified, high-clarity 3D views of internal pelvic organs onto high-resolution medical screens.
