Laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique

which is used to perform operations in the abdominal cavity.

 

In this technique, a small incision is made in the skin and a long, thin tube called a laparoscope is inserted through it. The laparoscope has a camera at its end that transmits high-definition images of the internal organs to the surgeon on a monitor.

 

Through other small incisions, special surgical instruments are inserted into the abdomen to perform the surgery.

 

Benefits

Because the incisions are small:

• Recovery is faster.

• There is less pain than in traditional open surgery.

• Less bleeding.

• Lower risk of infection.

• Shorter hospital stay.
