Laparoscopic surgery is a minimal invasive
technique to perform various surgeries and diagnostic procedures. During
laparoscopy a tiny instrument called ‘Laparoscope’ is used, to reach the
abdomen of a patient. The laparoscope also has a tiny camera which gives a
clear picture of the inside thereby assisting a surgeon and also to conduct
correct diagnosis. During the procedure, a very small incision is made which is
healed very fast without harming the surrounding organs or area.
Laparoscopy procedure is recommended in
case of any health issue related to pelvic area or any part of abdomen and
lower abdomen. Doctors rely on laparoscopy procedure in case of problems like
Ectopic Pregnancy, Stones, Appendicitis, Endometriosis, Ovarian cyst and Pelvic
inflammatory disease.
Once a feared word, ‘Surgery’ nowadays have
become a common phenomenon with the advanced technique and quick healing. With
laparoscopic procedures, patients do not have to stay in hospital for days and
can get discharged on the day of the surgery or after a period of 1-2 days
only.
