In the United States, culdoscopy (a vaginal approach to view the abdomen) replaced laparoscopy for about 20 years, circa 1950-1970. In contrast to many of his colleagues, Hans Frangenheim of Wuppertal, Germany, was not satisfied with culdoscopy and turned to an abdominal approach. Frangenheim began publishing his experiences with gynecological laparoscopy in 1958 and stressed technical improvements. He constructed a CO2 insufflator, wrote the first book on gynecological endoscopy, and introduced "cold light" into laparoscopy. Frangenheim strongly stimulated the rise of gynecological laparoscopy in Europe in the 1960s and later.
在美国，大约在1950年至1970年期间， culdoscopy（一种经阴道观察腹部的方法）取代腹腔镜检查约20年。与他的许多同事不同，德国伍珀塔尔的汉斯·弗兰根海姆对culdoscopy并不满意，转而采用腹部入路。弗兰根海姆于1958年开始发表他关于妇科腹腔镜检查的经验，并强调技术改进。他制造了一台二氧化碳注入器，撰写了第一本关于妇科内窥镜检查的书籍，并将“冷光”引入腹腔镜检查。弗兰根海姆在很大程度上推动了20世纪60年代及以后欧洲妇科腹腔镜检查的兴起。
