Advantages of Laparoscopic surgery - Dr. Rubina Shanawaz

Laparoscopic surgery or keyhole surgery is a surgery where abdomen is entered through small incisions ranging from 5 to maximum of 12 - 15 millimeters.Through this, a camera and operating equipment is introduced and operated.
Advantage to the surgeon with this technique is great magnification.Even small bleeders can be caught.As for the patient, it is a very small incision.So cosmetically its much better.Recovery time is faster because of the small incision.Duration of stay in the hospital is also smaller.Patients can get back to their normal life much quicker than the open surgery.
This technique can be used for a variety of conditions ranging from a small ovarian cyst, to removal of fibroids in the uterus, to removal of the uterus.
As with any laparoscopic or open surgery, any minor or major surgery it has its own set of complications which mostly can be dealt effectively using the same technique..
