Mallards reach physical maturity when they're roughly 1 year old. By this time, they are usually capable of reproducing. As youngsters, their development is swift. They usually fledge or take flight by the time they reach 50 days in age. Mallards usually get to their full mature weight between 12 and 14 weeks old.
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to inspect and observe the inside of the body without performing major surgery. An endoscope is a long, usually flexible tube with a lens at one end and a video camera at the other.
Laparoscopic surgery aims to remove (excise) the endometriosis lesions and adhesions if they are found and restore normal anatomy (if it has been distorted). Whenever possible, laparoscopy will be undertaken in preference to laparotomy (open surgical procedure).
