Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body.
Common Laparoscopic Procedures
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Removal of the gallbladder due to gallstones.
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Safe and quick removal of the appendix.
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: Using a mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall with faster recovery times.
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy: To inspect the abdominal and pelvic organs directly.
Key Benefits of Laparoscopy
- Significantly less pain compared to traditional open surgery
- Smaller scars and excellent cosmetic results
- Faster recovery and return to daily activities
- Shorter hospital stays
