1. laparoscope

   Laparoscopy (from Ancient Greek λαπάρα (lapára) 'flank, side', and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to see') is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) with the aid of a camera. The laparoscope aids diagnosis or therapeutic interventions with a few small cuts in the abdomen.Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time. The key element is the use of a laparoscope, a long fiber optic cable system that allows viewing of the affected area by snaking the cable from a more distant, but more easily accessible location. Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, whereas keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity is called thoracoscopic surgery. Specific surgical instruments used in laparoscopic surgery include obstetrical forceps, scissors, probes, dissectors, hooks, and retractors. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery belong to the broader field of endoscopy. The first laparoscopic procedure was performed by German surgeon Georg Kelling in 1901.

1. laparoscope

   A laparoscope is a thin medical instrument equipped with a camera, that allows doctors to view inside the body, especially the abdominal or pelvic cavity. It is mostly used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, also known as keyhole surgery or laparoscopic surgery, where it is inserted through small incisions to examine organs or to perform surgery. This tool greatly reduces the need for large incisions, promoting faster healing and recovery.

Examples of laparoscope in a Sentence

1. Poonam Muttreja:

   The doctor is getting 250 rupees per surgery. Why would he bother to do only 10 or 20 surgeries when he can do 80? In the Bilaspur case, this is what happened, the doctor did not even change his laparoscope once during the 86 operations. He didn't change his gloves once. He didn't have the time.
