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.
