LAPAROSCOPY
Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows to access the inside of the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis without making large incisions in the skin. This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.
In this state-of-the-art minimally invasive method, an instrument called a laparoscope (telescope) is utilized. It’s a small tube that has a light source and a camera, which relays images of the inside of the abdomen or pelvis to a television monitor. Nextly, via other small keyholes, operative instruments are introduced into the abdomen. The entire surgery is then carried out by looking at a TV monitor.
The advantages of this latest technique over traditional open surgery include:
- Less pain
- Less bleeding
- Short hospital stay
- Short recovery time
- Early return to work
- Reduced scarring
- Fewer chances of infection
The additional advantage of laparoscopy as compared to open surgery is that the disease inside the body is seen more clearly and hence can be removed completely as everything is magnified 20 times by the laparoscope & also the powerful light source highlights the area to be operated on.
