Why Laparoscopy

Why Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a modern surgical technique that offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning it involves small incisions, usually less than an inch, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) and surgical instruments are inserted.

Key Reasons for Choosing Laparoscopy:
Smaller Incisions: Tiny cuts instead of large ones mean less damage to the skin and tissues.

Less Pain: Post-operative discomfort is significantly reduced compared to open surgery.

Faster Recovery: Most patients can return to their daily routine within a few days.

Shorter Hospital Stay: Many laparoscopic procedures are done as day care or require only 1–2 days of hospitalization.

Minimal Scarring: Smaller wounds lead to barely visible scars.

Reduced Risk of Infection: Smaller openings lower the chance of wound infection.

Precise Visualization: High-definition cameras provide a clearer view of internal organs, aiding in accurate surgery.

Common Conditions Treated with Laparoscopy:
Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)

Hernia repair

Appendix removal (appendectomy)

Diagnostic evaluation of abdominal pain

Gynecological surgeries (like ovarian cyst removal, hysterectomy)

Bariatric (weight-loss) surgeries
