Explanation

Open laparoscopy is a medical procedure that involves making a small cut in the belly to examine the abdominal organs. This is done using a special tool called a laparoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera on the end. The camera sends images to a screen, allowing the doctor to see inside the body without making a large incision. This procedure is often used to diagnose or treat conditions related to the abdomen or pelvis.
