What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopy is a type of surgery that uses smaller cuts than you might expect.
The process takes its name from the laparoscope, a slender tool that has a tiny video camera and light on the end.
A different Basic & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery technique sprays fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a suction to accomplish the same outcome as using the abrasive surface.
When a surgeon inserts it through a small cut and into your body, they can look at a video monitor and see what’s happening inside you. Without those tools, they’d have to make a much larger opening.
Thanks to special instruments, your surgeon won’t have to reach into your body, either. That also means less cutting. Have you heard people talk about “minimally invasive” surgery? Laparoscopic surgery one of its kind.
Doctors first used it for gallbladder surgery and gynaecology operations. Then it came in play for the intestines, liver, and other organs. Advantages of laparoscopic surgery is there is no or minimum scar, less medicine , early discharge from hospital, no or very less blood loss, early resumption to your normal routine work.
How It’s Done
- Before this system came along, a surgeon who operated on their patient’s belly had to make a cut that was 6-to-12 inches long. That gave them enough room to see what they were doing and reach whatever they had to work on.
- In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several small cuts. Usually, each one is no more than a half-inch long. (That's why it's sometimes called keyhole surgery.) They insert a tube through each opening, and the camera and surgical instruments go through those. Then the surgeon does the operation.
