Diagnostic laparoscopy, as described in Berek & Novak's Gynecology, is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera called a laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in the abdominal wall. This allows doctors to examine the inside of the abdomen and pelvis and diagnose issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, and adhesions.

The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and patients typically recover quickly. Post-operative care includes following the doctor's instructions and avoiding heavy activities to ensure complete recovery. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable tool for identifying and addressing gynecological issues.
