Gynecological laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows a healthcare provider to view the reproductive organs and tissues inside the pelvis, and it is often used to diagnose and treat ovarian cysts. MRI and CT scans may also be used to evaluate ovarian cysts, but do not require invasive procedures and therefore would not typically require a consent form. Hysteroscopy involves the insertion of a thin, lighted scope through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus, and would not be used for evaluating an ovarian cyst.
