The instrument is inserted through small cuts on your abdomen.<br/>Laparoscopes measure about 5 to 10mm in diameter and have a light and camera lens attached to the tip. The camera lens sends pictures of your internal organs to a video screen. Your surgeon will view these to find out what is causing your gynaecological symptoms (diagnostic laparoscopy).
