Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope to visualize and access the inside of the abdomen or pelvis. During laparoscopy, small incisions are made through which the laparoscope and other specialized instruments are inserted. This approach allows surgeons to examine and perform various surgical procedures, such as removing organs, taking biopsies, or repairing tissues, with less trauma compared to traditional open surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat conditions in the abdomen and pelvis. Instead of large incisions, it uses several small cuts (usually less than half an inch) through which specialized instruments and a laparoscope are inserted. The laparoscope is a thin, telescopic tool with a camera at the end, allowing the surgeon to see inside the body on a monitor. Dr. Pradip Jadhav is a Laparoscopic Surgeon in Dighi, Pune, at Galaxy Multispeciality Hospital.
