Laparoscopy Surgery

Laparoscopy Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique that utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments to access and perform procedures within the abdominal or pelvic cavities. Compared to traditional open surgery, which requires larger incisions and more extensive tissue dissection, laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and improved cosmetic outcomes.

The laparoscopic approach involves inserting a thin, flexible tube called a laparoscope through a small incision near the surgical site. The laparoscope contains a camera and light source, allowing the surgeon to visualize the internal structures of the abdomen or pelvis on a monitor in the operating room. Additional small incisions are made to insert specialized instruments, such as graspers, scissors, and cautery devices, which are used to manipulate tissues, perform dissections, and carry out surgical procedures.
