Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a technique that involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached) and other surgical instruments are inserted to perform various surgical procedures. This approach offers numerous advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced pain and scarring, shorter recovery times, and lower risk of complications. Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used for procedures such as gallbladder removal, appendectomies, hernia repairs, and prostate surgeries. Overall, laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the field of surgery and has become a preferred method for many surgical interventions.
