A medical instrument used to examine the interior of the celom or body cavity through a small opening.
From celo- (celom, from Greek koiloma meaning cavity) + -scope (from Greek skopein meaning to view). Medical instrument term from the 1900s.
A celoscope lets doctors peek inside your body cavity without doing major surgery—it's the ancestor of modern laparoscopes that surgeons use today, revolutionizing medicine by making surgery less invasive!
