The most important instrument is laparoscope/endoscope which is

a fiberoptic instrument inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall and used to examine visually the interior of the peritoneal cavity. (link)

Laparoscope is the instrument with video camera.

There are also:

veres needle needed for draining fluids
trocar
insufflator for insufflation (insufflation looks like that)

Traditionally, the first step during laparoscopic surgery is to distend the abdomen, including entry into the abdomen and then insufflation with a gas (pneumoperitoneum), providing sufficient operating space to ensure adequate visualization of the structures and manipulation of instruments (link).
