Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves performing surgical procedures through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera called a laparoscope. This technique allows surgeons to visualize and access the internal organs without the need for large incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is used to treat a wide range of conditions across various medical specialties, including gynaecology, urology, gastroenterology, and general surgery. Common laparoscopic procedures include cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), appendectomy, hernia repair, and hysterectomy.
