The review of instrumentation in this field includes comments on the CO2-Aqua-Purator, CO2 insufflator, round-grip instruments, electrocautery, endocoagulator, and lasers. Detailed procedural descriptions are given of visually controlled peritoneal perforation and second-look pelviscopic procedures are given in the second section, and the final section covers the role of pelviscopy in the treatment of endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and pelvic inflammatory disease.\nCopyright © Copyright © 1991 YEAR Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
