Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is also called Minimally Invasive Surgery or Keyhole Surgery as it uses small cuts or incisions (keyhole incisions) to perform the surgery.  Traditionally, large cuts were needed to perform an operation.  But in Laparoscopic Surgery, a laparoscope, a thin instrument which has a small camera at the tip, is inserted into the body through small incisions and the internal organs are visualized through the camera on a large monitor.

As the surgeon visualizes the organs on a large monitor, laparoscopic surgery is much safer than open surgery.  The recovery time is less as the wounds heal faster because the incisions are small.
