Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a technique that allows surgeons to perform operations through small incisions using a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and light. This approach offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring. During the procedure, the laparoscope transmits real-time images of the internal organs to a monitor, enabling the surgeon to navigate and operate with precision using specialized instruments inserted through small ports. Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used for a variety of procedures, such as gallbladder removal, appendectomies, hernia repairs, and gynecological surgeries. By limiting the size of incisions, laparoscopic surgery helps patients return to their normal activities more quickly while minimizing the risk of complications associated with larger surgical wounds.
