Explanation

A laparoscope is a special tool used by doctors to look inside the body without making a large cut. It's a thin tube with a light and a tiny camera on the end. The doctor inserts it through a small incision in the skin, and the camera sends images to a video monitor. This allows the doctor to examine the inside of the body and can be used for both diagnosis and surgical procedures.
