Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is an advanced surgical technique widely used in gynecology. This procedure involves making small incisions (typically 0.5-1 cm) through which a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—is inserted along with specialized surgical instruments. The technique offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced scarring, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
