Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical technique where small incisions are made in the abdomen through which specialized surgical instruments and a tiny camera called a laparoscope are inserted. The laparoscope provides a high-definition view of the inside of the body on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with precision. Laparoscopic surgery is used to perform a wide range of procedures, including gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendectomy, and many others. It offers benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery.
