Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used for diagnosing and treating various internal conditions, especially in gynecology, gastroenterology, and urology. This technique involves using a thin, camera-equipped instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted into the body through small incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize and perform the surgery with precision.
✅ Minimal incisions and reduced bleeding
✅ Less post-operative pain
✅ Lower risk of infection
✅ Faster recovery compared to open surgery
✅ Smaller scars and better cosmetic results
1. Patient Preparation
Before surgery, the doctor reviews necessary tests such as blood tests, ultrasound, and ECG, and the patient must fast for several hours.
2. Making Small Incisions
After anesthesia, the surgeon creates a few small incisions (usually 3 to 5 millimeters) in the targeted area.
3. Inserting the Laparoscope
A thin tube with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted through one of the incisions, sending high-quality images of the internal organs to a monitor.
4. Injecting Carbon Dioxide Gas
To create space and improve visibility, a small amount of carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdominal cavity.
5. Performing the Surgery
The surgeon uses specialized instruments inserted through other small incisions to complete the procedure.
6. Removing Instruments and Closing Incisions
Once the surgery is complete, the gas is released, instruments are removed, and the small incisions are closed with stitches.
