Keyhole surgery. Close-up of a laparascope being prepared for laparascopic, or keyhole, surgery. Keyhole surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is directed using a laparascope, a type of endoscope that is inserted through a small incision into the patient's abdomen. It sends an image of the area being operated on to a monitor which the surgeon uses to guide the procedure.
