An endoscope with a flexible inserted portion intended for the visual examination and treatment of the abdominal/retroperitoneal cavity and its organs. It is inserted through an incision made in the abdominal wall (routinely just below the umbilicus) during laparoscopy. Anatomical images are transmitted to the user through a fibreoptic bundle. The abdominal wall is distended, typically using a gas distention device, providing space to allow the surgeon to directly view and/or operate on the exposed organs. It is commonly used to evaluate/treat abdominal or pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, appendicitis, and to perform female sterilization. This is a reusable device.
