Laparoscopy is performed in which area?

Laparoscopy is performed in which area?

• A. In the abdominal area using several small incisions
• B. In the chest cavity with a large single incision
• C. In the brain through a burr hole
• D. In the joints using arthroscopy

Answer: (A)

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive approach to the abdominal cavity. It uses a laparoscope inserted through several small incisions in the abdomen to visualize and operate on abdominal organs, with the abdomen often insufflated with CO2 to create a working space. This distinguishes it from other approaches: opening the chest through a large incision would be thoracotomy, brain access via a burr hole is neurosurgery, and arthroscopy is specifically for joints.
