Laparoscopic Surgery is ‘keyhole’ or ‘minimally invasive’ surgery. It is the technique of performing surgery through one or more very small
skin incisions, rather than one large incision. Through these small incisions, ports are placed to pass a telescope and
instruments, and carbon dioxide is used to inflate an operating work space. Laparoscopic surgery’s main advantages are the
reduction of pain and shortening of recovery period compared to traditional open surgical incisions. Other potential
advantages include a close-up and magnified view of internal organs allowing precise surgery, as well as reduced blood
loss and a superior cosmetic appearance. Laparoscopic surgery has been the standard of care for many years in various
surgical fields (such as gall bladder and kidney removal), and when performed by a trained surgeon is as safe and
effective as open surgery.
