Laparoscopic Surgeries

A laparoscopy can be used to diagnose conditions such as appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and some cancers, such as liver cancer and ovarian cancer. It’s also used for surgery to treat conditions, such as: removing organs such as the appendix or gallbladder.
Laparoscopic surgery involves inserting a laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments through small incisions. The laparoscope provides a magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor, allowing surgeons to perform precise procedures.
Laparoscopy is sometimes called “minimally invasive surgery” or “keyhole surgery,” because it requires smaller cuts than traditional, “open” surgery.

Common Types of Laparoscopic Surgeries

Abdominal and Gastrointestinal Procedures:
Appendectomy (removal of the appendix)
Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery

Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions result in less pain and faster recovery.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Many procedures are performed as day surgeries.
Lower Risk of Infection: Small incisions reduce the risk of wound infections.
Reduced Scarring: Tiny scars compared to open surgery.
Quick Recovery: Return to normal activities sooner.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Anesthesia: Most laparoscopic surgeries are performed under general anesthesia.
Incisions: Small incisions (typically 0.5-1 cm) are made for the laparoscope and instruments.
Procedure: Carbon dioxide gas is used to inflate the surgical area for better visibility. The surgeon performs the operation using the monitor for guidance.
Closure: Incisions are closed with stitches or surgical glue.
