Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Although patients tend to think of laparoscopic surgery as minor surgery, it is major surgery with the potential for major complications – visceral injury and bleeding, injury to the bowel, or injury to the bladder. In most cases, you can leave the hospital about four hours after laparoscopy. It’s rare that a patient will need to stay in the hospital overnight after this procedure. You’ll be asked to return to your healthcare provider’s office for follow-up appointments within two to eight weeks of your laparoscopy. Most patients think that after the surgery they need to face many complications that are going to affect their health. But with advanced laparoscopic surgery, there is no such complication, and blood loss is minimal. The doctor is highly skilled and experienced as well as the improved surgical treatment will remove the cancerous tissues completely. Not just the hospital stay small but the recovery is much faster as compared to the traditional approach.
