What is laparoscopy?

A laparoscope is similar to an electronic gastroscope, and is an instrument with a miniature camera. Laparoscopic surgery is a surgery performed using a laparoscope and its related instruments: a cold light source is used to provide lighting, and the laparoscope lens (3-10mm in diameter) is inserted into the abdominal cavity. Digital camera technology is used to transmit the image captured by the laparoscope lens through optical fibers to the subsequent signal processing system, and displayed in real time on a dedicated monitor.
