Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery. A laparoscopy can be used to diagnose diseases such as appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and some cancers, such as liver cancer and ovarian cancer. A laparoscopy is usually recommended because the recovery time is faster than other types of surgery. It usually takes up to 5 days if you had it to diagnose a disease, or up to 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover if you've had surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery has several benefits compared to traditional open surgery such as

• Reduced Trauma: Laparoscopic surgery needs smaller incisions compared to open surgery, resulting in less trauma to the surrounding tissues and organs.
• Minimal Scarring: Laparoscopic incisions are smaller, they typically result in smaller spots compared to the larger incisions used in open surgery.
• Reduced Blood Loss: Laparoscopic surgery is associated with less blood loss during the procedure compared to open surgery.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Laparoscopic surgery involves smaller incisions and less manipulation of tissues.

Laparoscopic surgery can be used to perform a wide range of surgical procedures across various medical specialties, including gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, and general surgery.

Overall, laparoscopic surgery offers multiple advantages for patients and surgeons also, making it the best approach for many surgical procedures.
