Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, meaning that it is performed through a small incision and without the need to make significant incisions in the patient in order to gain access to the affected areas.
After the incision is made, a surgeon’s tools are fed through the small slit that is made, followed by small tubed cameras to help the surgeon see inside. It’s a type of surgery very similar to an endoscopy, which uses tiny scopes to look inside various parts of the body.
Laparoscopic surgeries result in far less bleeding, scarring, pain, less time to heal and shorter hospitalization times than typical surgeries.
