Basic and Advanced Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, involves the use of a thin, lighted tube with a camera (laparoscope) inserted through small incisions in the body. This allows surgeons to view and operate on internal organs without the need for large incisions used in traditional open surgery.
Benefits of Laparoscopy
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions result in less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery.
- Quicker Recovery Time: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities.
- Reduced Blood Loss: The precision of laparoscopic instruments often leads to less blood loss during surgery.
- Lower Infection Rates: Smaller incisions decrease the risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery.
Patient Preparation and Recovery
- Preoperative Evaluation: Patients may undergo tests to ensure they are suitable candidates for laparoscopic surgery.
- Anesthesia: Laparoscopic procedures are performed under general anesthesia.
- Recovery: Most patients experience a faster recovery, but postoperative care and follow-up appointments are essential.
