Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), is a modern surgical technique that enables operations through small incisions rather than large ones.

This method is facilitated by the use of a laparoscope—a slender, flexible tube equipped with a light source and camera. The camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to operate with precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include less postoperative pain, reduced risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times, making it a popular choice for various medical procedures.
