Laparoscopic Surgery
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopy is a one-of-a-kind type of surgery that has been transforming the medical field since the early 1900’s. At the beginning, it was used for operations related to the gallbladder but then expanded to include intestines, liver, and other organs.
This “minimally invasive” surgery uses smaller cuts than traditional surgery to produce outstanding results using a tube that contains a small video camera and surgical instruments inserted into the body through the small cuts in order to evaluate and assess the situation of organs inside the human body and conduct an operation.
How does Laparoscopic Surgery operate?
Our future and the future of our children will begin to look bright with the use of revolutionary tools such as the laparoscope. Before this system was implemented, surgeons were obliged to cut their patients 15 to 30 cm long during an operation. But with Laparoscopic Surgery, things are much different and better for the patient. On average, each cut is no more than 1.5cm long giving way to a tube, called a laparoscope which includes the tiny video camera and light, to be inserted into the cuts along with the surgical instruments required to perform the necessary surgery and consequently achieve exceptional results.
