Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a technique that allows surgeons to perform operations through small incisions in the abdomen using a camera and specialized instruments. This approach is commonly used for procedures like gallbladder removal, appendectomy, and hernia repair, as it reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and lowers the risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery.

During the procedure, carbon dioxide gas is introduced to inflate the abdominal cavity, providing a clearer view for the surgeon. The laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, guides the surgery, allowing for precise movements. Recovery typically involves less pain and a quicker return to normal activities.
