Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery also called minimally invasive surgery is a modern surgical technique in which procedures are carried out in small incisions as compared to the larger incisions needed in laparotomy. It is the most common procedure used to diagnose and remove mild to moderate endometriosis.

Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities. A minimally invasive surgery forms a smaller scar which helps patient to recover soon. Minimally invasive Laparoscopic surgery is performed through a telescopic rod lens system that is usually connected with video camera to transmit an image of the organs inside the abdomen onto a television monitor.

There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an open procedure such as:-

• Reduced Hemorrhaging.
• Smaller Incision.
• Reduced exposure of internal organs to possible external contaminants
• Expensive of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is less.
• Time for operation is longer, but reduces the hospitalization time.
• Less pain and scarring and results in speedy recovery
