Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the insertion of an endoscope into the abdominal cavity, typically through the umbilicus, to visualize the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvis. During laparoscopy, the patency of the fallopian tubes can be assessed by injecting a blue dye. Moreover, certain conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and adhesions can also be treated concurrently through operative laparoscopy. This technique offers the advantage of reduced invasiveness and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
