?:definition
  • Endoscopes inserted through an artificial orifice in the abdominal wall (i.e., percutaneously) for observation, diagnosis, and treatment of the organs in the abdominal cavities. These endoscopes usually include a system of relayed lens optics or fiberoptic light systems for illumination and imaging that facilitates the examination and performance of therapeutic and/or surgical procedures. Most laparoscopes incorporate camera heads that employ charged-coupled devices (CCDs) for external display, documentation, and processing of the endoscopic images. Laparoscopes are usually manufactured in two different types: one for diagnostic (viewing laparoscopes) and other for surgery (operating laparoscopes).
