What is laparoscopic surgery?
Dr. Craig Ranch of McKinney, TX describes laparoscopic surgery as a less invasive way of addressing various gynecological conditions. A camera is attached to a device that is inserted into the abdomen using extremely small incisions. The instruments are then used to perform the surgery, or, in some cases, be utilized to evaluate the uterus and cervix to diagnose certain conditions. This advanced technology makes it easier for doctors to perform more precision procedures while reducing the risk of infection and scarring. At the same time, women who undergo procedures in this manner will also enjoy faster recovery time and healing from their treatments.

Some of the more commonly performed laparoscopic surgeries in the field of gynecology include:
