Laparoscopic surgeries
Minimally Invasive : Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which specialized surgical instruments and a camera (laparoscope) are inserted. This approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues compared to traditional open surgery.
Advantages : Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages over open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, smaller scars, and decreased risk of complications such as infection and hernia formation.
Wide Range of Procedures : Laparoscopic techniques can be used to perform a wide range of surgical procedures across various medical specialties, including gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, bariatric surgery, and colorectal surgery. Common laparoscopic procedures include cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), appendectomy, hernia repair, and hysterectomy.
Technique : During laparoscopic surgery, the laparoscope provides a magnified view of the surgical site, allowing the surgeon to visualize internal organs and structures with precision. The surgeon manipulates instruments remotely, guided by real-time images displayed on a monitor, enabling precise movements and delicate maneuvers.
Patient Selection : Not all patients are suitable candidates for laparoscopic surgery. Factors such as the patient’s overall health, the complexity of the procedure, and the surgeon’s expertise must be considered when determining the appropriateness of laparoscopic approach versus traditional open surgery.
