Feedback:
During laparoscopy, a small incision is made in the area of the umbilicus, and the abdomen is then distended (insufflated) with approximately 2 L of carbon dioxide or oxygen and a laparoscope is inserted into the peritoneal cavity. During culdoscopy, an endoscope is passed through the vaginal wall behind the cervix after a small incision is made in the posterior vaginal cul-de-sac. The colposcope is a lighted, magnifying speculum that is inserted into the vaginal vault. A cervical biopsy involves the microscopic examination of a small piece of cervical tissue.
