Overview

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique where small incisions are made, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is used to view and operate on the internal organs. It offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, resulting in quicker recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.

Benefits

• Reduced pain compared to open surgery
• Shorter recovery time
• Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
• Lower risk of infection
• Less blood loss
• Faster return to normal activities
• Shorter hospital stay
• Enhanced precision and control
• Better visualization of internal organs
• Reduced risk of postoperative complications

Risk Factors

• Risk of infection at incision sites
• Potential for bleeding or blood clots
• Injury to surrounding organs
• Adverse reaction to anesthesia
• Incomplete or inadequate treatment requiring further surgery
