The word “laparoscopy” simply means visual examination of the abdomen by means of a laparoscope. A laparoscope is tiny telescope like instrument inserted into the abdomen through the navel to view the interior of the peritoneal cavity.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery –
• Greater precision because of the magnification of the operative field.
• Diminished blood loss.
• Tiny incisions rather than opening the entire abdomen.
• Less post-operative pain and discomfort.
• Fewer complications.
• Shorter hospital stay.
• Quicker recovery time.
Generally, the patient is discharged within 23 hours of surgery and is able to resume light ton normal duties after one week.
