AB Diagnostic  laparoscopy  provides  a  minimally  invasive  surgery  (MIS)  option  for  thorough  evaluation  of  the  peritoneal  cavity  and  pelvic  organs.  It  often  is  performed  to  evaluate  pelvic  pain  or  causes  of  infertility,  to  diagnose  endometriosis,  or  to  ascertain  the  qualities  of  a  pelvic  mass.  Importantly,  systematic  evaluation  of  the  peritoneal  cavity  is  performed  during  every  laparoscopy,  either  diagnostic  or  operative.
