Meaning
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure where a small incision is made in the abdomen and a laparoscope is inserted to examine the organs and tissues inside the abdominal cavity.
Origin
The term "laparoscopy" was first coined in the early 20th century by German gynecologist Hans Christian Jacobaeus. He devised a technique using a cystoscope to examine the abdominal cavity through a small incision in the umbilicus. This technique was later refined and popularized by American surgeon George Kelling in the 1940s and 1950s.
