$\"Laparoscopic$ Laparoscopy<\/a> or laparoscopic surgery is an operation that enables doctors and medical professionals to perform minor and major surgeries in the abdomen or pelvis with the use of a specialized camera.\u00a0 The procedure is performed using a laparoscope, which is a one half inch thick fiber optic rod with a video camera attached.\u00a0 This laparoscope is inserted into the body, usually through the belly button or vagina, and allows the physician to see the areas through a video monitor located in the operating room.\u00a0 Once inserted, a doctor can choose to perform a surgery through the laparoscopy, or use the images to diagnose a problem and conduct a normal surgery. Also referred to a “minimally invasive surgery<\/strong>,” laparoscopy has been hailed in medical circles as requiring less down time, smaller incisions, reduced pain and heightened access and visualization to the abdominal areas compared to traditional forms of surgery.\u00a0 However, although laparoscopic surgery signifies an advancement in medical technology, the use of instrument requires a advanced level of skill and knowledge.\u00a0 failure to abide by certain principles can lead to catastrophic and even fatal results for many patients.
