Gynecological laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive gynecologic surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions using a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached. This procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which the laparoscope and other specialized surgical instruments are inserted.

Gynecological laparoscopy can be used to diagnose and treat conditions such as:

1. Endometriosis: A condition where the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and infertility.

1. Ovarian cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries, which can sometimes lead to pain or complications.
2. Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, or fertility issues.
3. Ectopic pregnancy: A pregnancy that implants outside of the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
4. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): An infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.

1. Adhesions: Scar tissue that forms between pelvic organs, often as a result of previous surgeries or infections, which can cause pain or infertility.

During the procedure, the surgeon uses the laparoscope to visualize the pelvic organs and may perform various surgical techniques to address the underlying condition. Gynecological laparoscopy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
