Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique that involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a long, thin tube with a camera and surgical instruments to perform various procedures. This technique allows for faster recovery times, reduced scarring, and less pain for patients compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used for procedures such as gallbladder removal, appendectomies, and hernia repair. Additionally, advancements in laparoscopic technology and techniques continue to improve surgical outcomes and expand the range of procedures that can be performed using this approach.
