This approach is far less intrusive. This indicates that no significant incision was made. Instead, a single to three minor incisions are made. One of the cuts is used to insert a laparoscope, a long, thin tube. It includes surgical equipment and a tiny video camera. The surgeon views a monitor to see into your abdomen and direct the tools.
