Laparoscopy Laparoscopy is a surgery that uses a thin, lighted tube put through a cut (incision) in the belly to look at the abdominal organs camera.gif or the female pelvic organs camera.gif. Laparoscopy is used to find problems such as cysts, adhesions, fibroids camera.gif, and infection. Tissue samples can be taken for biopsy through the tube (laparoscope). Why It Is Done Laparoscopy is done to: Check for and possibly take out abnormal growths (such as tumors) in the belly or pelvis. Check for and treat conditions such as endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Find conditions that can make it hard for a woman to become pregnant. These conditions include cysts, adhesions, fibroids, and infection. Laparoscopy may be done after initial infertility tests do not show the cause for the infertility. Do a biopsy. See whether cancer in another area of the body has spread to the belly. Check for damage to internal organs, such as the spleen, after an injury or accident. Do a tubal ligation. Fix a hiatal hernia camera.gif or an inguinal hernia camera.gif.
