Diagnostic laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used to examine the abdomen and pelvis from the inside. It is often performed to diagnose a disease or treat already existing conditions. This may eliminate the need for complicated surgery in the future. The treatment is used to diagnose discomfort or growth in the abdominal and pelvic region when an accurate diagnosis cannot be made by ultrasound or X-ray. Checking the organs in the abdomen after an injury is occasionally done. As part of cancer treatment, diagnostic laparoscopies are frequently carried out to check for cancer spread. Once the condition is diagnosed, treatment can be initiated.
