Are you put to sleep for a laparoscopy?
A laparoscopy is done under general anaesthetic, so you'll be asleep during the operation and will not feel any pain. The surgeon will make a small cut, usually near your belly button. Air is pumped into your tummy through the cut so the surgeon can see inside your tummy more easily.
