Laparoscopic Surgery
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A minimally invasive surgical technique in which a camera (laparoscope) and specialised instruments are inserted into the abdominal or pelvic cavity through small incisions, allowing the surgeon to perform complex procedures without a large open wound. It is associated with reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
