3. WHAT IS A LAPAROSCOPY
A Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a surgical diagnostic
procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen, as well as other closed
spaces, such as the knees. It’s a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that requires
only small incisions.
When an abdominal laparoscopy is performed, a doctor uses an instrument called a
laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a
high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front.

4. PURPOSE
Ultrasound makes use of high-frequency sound waves in order to create pictures of the body
CT scan It is a collection of X-rays that take cross-sectional pictures of the human body
An MRI scan that uses radio waves and magnets to create pictures of the body
Laparoscopy can be utilized to pinpoint and determine the root of pelvic and abdominal discomfort. It's typically
performed when non-invasive methods fail to provide a diagnosis.
In many instances, abdominal issues can be identified using imaging techniques like:
Laparoscopy can be performed in cases where these tests do not give enough information or insights for making a
diagnosis. It could be utilized to collect an incision or sample of tissue from an organ within the abdomen.

5. RISKS OF LAPAROCASY
Fevers or chills
Abdominal pain that becomes more intense over time
Redness or discoloration, swelling, bleeding, or drainage at the incision sites
Continuous nausea or vomiting
Persistent cough
Shortness of breath
Inability to urinate
Lightheadedness

6. PREPARATION
Tell your doctor about any prescription or over-the-counter
medications you’re taking. Your doctor will tell you how they
should be used before and after the procedure.
Anticoagulants, such as blood thinners
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including
aspirin (Bufferin) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB)
Other medications that affect blood clotting
Herbal or dietary supplements
Vitamin K

7. PROCEDURE
You’ll likely be given general anesthesia for this type of surgery. This means that you’ll sleep through the
procedure and typically won’t feel any pain. To achieve general anesthesia, an intravenous (IV) line is
inserted in one of your veins. Through the IV, your anesthesiologist can give you special medications and
well as provide hydration with fluids.
Once your abdomen is inflated, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope through the incision. The camera
attached to the laparoscope displays the images on a screen, allowing your organs to be viewed in real-time.
The number and size of incisions depend upon what specific diseases your surgeon is attempting to confirm
or rule out. Generally, you get from one to four incisions that are each between 1 and 2 centimeters in length.
These incisions allow other instruments to be inserted.
