Best Answer

When surgical procedures are being done on the abdominal or pelvic area, a small incision is made near the navel, and an instrument called a Laparoscope is inserted. The surgeon uses a gas, usually carbon dioxide, and injects it into the abdomen. It is carefully monitored.

Some people have been known to do this as a fetish, by other means. However, it is very dangerous as a "do it yourself." It can cause intestinal shock, toxic shock, rupture, or even death. These would all be very painful, and not very quick.

What happens in laparoscopic surgery?

In laparoscopic surgery, two or more ports are used to access the patient's abdomen. One port is used to slowly fill the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas, which expands the abdomen and thus the surgeon's field of view. The remaining ports are used for the passage of cameras and tools that allow the surgeon to complete the surgery with only minor incisions.
