Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery to treat various diseases. It is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopy allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen (stomach) and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin.
What is a laparocopic Surgery?
Large incisions can be avoided during laparoscopy becuae the surgeon uses an instrument called a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a long flexible tube equipped with a miniature video camera and light on the end that, along with a range of miniaturized surgical instruments, can be inserted into abdominal cavity through a very small incision or set of incisions.
In most laparoscopic surgeries, surgeons operate through 3 small incisions (each 1/4 to 1/2 inch). Typically, a small amount of gas (normally CO2) is introduced into the abdominal cavity at the same time so that the surgeon is able to clearly see the organs. As a result , recovery time is quicker and pain is often reduced.
When do we use laparoscopic surgeries?
Laparoscopic surgeries are suitable to 'diagnose' or 'treat' a wide range of diseases that develop inside the abdomen (tummy) or pelvis. Laparoscopic surgery is most commonly used in gastroenterology, gynaecology and urology.
