Visual examination of the abdominal cavity using a celioscope or laparoscope.
From Greek koilia (belly) + skopein (to look). The -scopy suffix converts -scope (the instrument) into the procedure of using that instrument.
Celioscopy changed surgery forever—instead of cutting patients wide open, doctors could see inside with a tiny camera and use minimal invasive techniques!
