Revolution in the world of surgery : The benefits and importance of laparoscopy in surgical operations

Since its first appearance in the 1960s, laparoscopic technology has truly revolutionized the world of surgery. It has replaced many traditional open surgeries, providing patients with a better and more comfortable experience.

What is laparoscopy ?

Laparoscopy is a thin, tube-like medical instrument equipped with a small camera. It is inserted into the patient's body through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to clearly see the internal organs on a video screen.

What are the benefits of laparoscopic surgery ?

Laparoscopic surgery offers many benefits to the patient compared to open surgery, including:

Small incisions: Laparoscopic surgery is performed through very small incisions, ranging from 0.5 cm to 1 cm, instead of the large incision required for open surgery.
 

Less pain: Due to small incisions, patients experience less pain after laparoscopic surgery.
Faster recovery time: Patients can leave the hospital soon after laparoscopic surgery and return to their daily activities faster.
 

Less scars: Laparoscopic surgery leaves very small scars, making it aesthetically better.
Reduced risk of infection: The possibility of infection is reduced after laparoscopic surgery.
 

Better view: The camera on the laparoscope provides a better view of the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with greater precision.
