About Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a procedure that allows the surgeon to reach the inside of the abdomen without having to make a large cut.
A laparoscope is a tube-like structure equipped with a camera and a high-intensity light. It sends real-time images to an external monitor which allows the surgeon to look at the organs.
It requires a small incision on the abdomen and is inserted through a cut as small as 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm.
Types of Diseases
Laparoscopic surgery can be performed on different types of diseases that affect the abdomen.
