Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery that uses a small telescope, called a Laparoscope, which is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen. The surgeon then performs the surgery by looking at a TV monitor. This latest and hi-tech form of surgery offers many advantages to patients, such as:
– Minimal pain
– Minimal blood loss
– Early return to work (1-2 days)
– No need for blood transfusion
– Reduced risk of infection
Laparoscopy is a surgery that has many benefits over open surgery, as the disease inside the body is seen more clearly and can be removed completely. This is because laparoscopy uses a laparoscope, which is a thin tube with a light and camera on the end, to magnify the area inside the body by 20 times. This allows the surgeon to see much more detail than they would be able to with the naked eye. In addition, the laparoscope is equipped with a powerful Xenon light source, which highlights the area to be operated on, making it easier for the surgeon to see.
