What is laparoscopic surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery.It is an advanced method of performing surgery. It allows the surgeon to access the abdomen and pelvis without making large incisions.

Generally, in traditional open surgery, the surgeon made a single large incision to operate, but now in laparoscopic surgery, he makes several small incisions that measure around 0.5-1.2cm.

The surgeon then inserts a thin tool with a tiny video camera and light at the end, called the laparoscope, through the small incision into your body. Due to these special instruments, the surgeon does not have to make larger openings or reach into your body.

At the start of the procedure, the surgeon will inflate the abdomen cavity with carbon dioxide gas to allow working and viewing space.

LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY OPEN SURGERY
Surgeons make tiny cuts about 0.5-1.2 cm in size and insert a long, thin tube attached with a camera at its tip and uses long instruments to manipulate the organs to be operated upon. It requires a long incision, about 10-20 cm in size, for the surgeon to insert instruments and visualize the procedure through the incision.
Minimum pain due to smaller incisions made. Blood loss is lesser due to increased magnification provided by the laparoscope. Increased pain due to larger wounds. Greater blood loss due to lack of magnification.
Smaller incisions reduce the risk of infections. Large open wounds increase your susceptibility to infections.
Small wounds take less time to heal. Thus, the recovery period is fast. Large wounds take more time to heal. Thus, the recovery period is slow.
This type of surgery requires a shorter hospital stay due to faster recovery. Open surgery may require an extended hospital stay due to the slow recovery process.
