Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Pelvic endoscopy is the intraperitoneal inspection of the pelvic organs. It can be done by the vaginal or abdominal approach and is a sterile procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Laparoscopy is a procedure where gynecologists can insert a laparoscope into the peritoneal cavity and observe the pelvic, abdominal, and peritoneal surfaces. Gynecologists can perform many surgical procedures without the need for a large incision. A cannula may be inserted into the uterine cervix for instillation of dye and for manipulation of the uterus during a procedure for better visibility.
