Laparoscopic Injury - G Ericnielson and Associates

“Kathleen” went to her doctor complaining of abdominal pain and severe cramping. The doctor suspected endometriosis and scheduled her for laparoscopic surgery to explore what was going on. This is where a small incision is made in the abdomen and a device known as a trocar is inserted into the abdomen. The trocar is used to cut a small hole through the layers of skin and fat and into the abdominal cavity. A camera is attached to the trocar and allows the doctor to see what is happening inside the body.
