LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

A wide range of operations can be performed using laparoscopic technology. It allows for minimally invasive surgeries with good success rates. It requires small incisions through which a tube, a camera, and surgical instruments are inserted to perform the surgery. It is recommended for various procedures like:

• Laparoscopic appendix removal: A laparoscopic appendectomy requires 3 small incisions (0.25-0.5 inches). The surgeon operates by looking at the images on a monitor.
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: The gallbladder can also be removed through this procedure. It requires small incisions instead of a large incision that prolongs recovery time.
• Laparoscopic hernia repair: The laparoscope is inserted via the belly button to view the internal organs. The surgeon places a mesh, covering the weakness in the abdominal wall.
• Laparoscopic spine surgery: Conditions like bone spurs, degenerative disc disease, or herniated disc can be treated with minimally invasive approach. It requires small puncture holes instead of a large cut.

The procedure offers several advantages, including reduced pain, less hemorrhaging, smaller incisions, shortened hospital stay, and reduced risk of infections.
