Orthopaedic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgical procedures. It is a type of surgery that involves the use of a laparoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source at the end.

During a laparoscopic procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts the laparoscope and other specialized instruments through these incisions. The camera on the laparoscope allows the surgeon to view the surgical site on a monitor, which provides a magnified, high-resolution image of the area being operated on.

The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over traditional open surgery include smaller incisions, less pain and scarring, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications such as infection and bleeding. Laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder disease, and various cancers.
