Development of endoscopic surgical techniques is one of the most important developments in modern medicine. Laparoscopy is a form of execution of endoscopic surgery in intra-abdominal operations. Especially in the last two decades, almost every operation can be performed with this technique due to the widespread utility of laparoscopic surgery and the training of very experienced surgeons applying the technique. This operation has been used only for limited and simple operations or for the purpose of diagnosis 15 years ago, but today difficult operations like cancer surgery can also be performed.

When performed by experienced teams, 95% of the gynecological operations can be conducted with the technique of endoscopy. In endoscopec surgery or minimal invasive surgery, operations can be conducted outside the body; intra-abdomianl image is transferred to the monitor via camera system. Endoscopic surgery in gynecology is divided into two as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. When performed via abdomen it is called laparoscopy, when performed via entering from the vagina it is called hysteroscopy.
