What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery or "keyhole surgery," uses small incisions (typically 5-15mm) instead of large open cuts. A laparoscope — a thin, flexible tube with a camera — is inserted through these tiny incisions, allowing surgeons to view and operate inside the body with precision.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery
- Smaller incisions — Minimal scarring and better cosmetic results
- Faster recovery — Most patients return home same day or next day
- Less pain — Reduced post-operative discomfort
- Lower infection risk — Smaller wounds heal faster
- Shorter hospital stay — Cost-effective treatment
- Earlier return to work — Minimal disruption to daily life
- Better visualization — HD cameras provide superior surgical precision
