A laparoscopy is an operation that uses an instrument known as a laparoscope to:

• diagnose endometriosis • treat endometriosis • remove adhesions caused by the disease.

A laparoscope is a thin telescope-like instrument approximately 30 centimetres in length. It is inserted into the pelvic cavity through a small cut near the navel. It has a light source and a lens that light up and magnify the inside of the pelvic cavity, so the gynaecologist can see the organs in the pelvis and any endometriosis present. It usually has a second tube attached along its length. This tube holds the surgical instruments used by the gynaecologist when performing surgical procedures during the operation.

A laparoscopy should not be confused with a laparotomy. A laparotomy is an operation that involves a large (10–15 cm) cut in the abdomen (rather than the small cuts of a laparoscopy). Nowadays, it is used only rarely to treat women with severe endometriosis who cannot be treated with a laparoscopy.
