The

is a miniature telescope with a light source used to perform laparoscopy.
The purpose is to visualize all the organs in the abdominal cavity
and the pelvis. Under anesthesia the laparoscope is introduced

glimpse. Apart from diagnosis the laparoscope is provided with
various accessories for treatment of conditions like polycystic
ovaries, endometrioses etc.
