Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a more technical procedure that requires additional training and skill. Laparoscopic surgery consists of making several small incisions in the abdominal wall. The tip of a Laparoscope, a long flexible tube connected to a video camera, is inserted into one of the incisions. Through the other incisions, the surgeon will insert other special instruments, and using a video monitor, will guide these instruments to hold, cut, suture or staple inside the body. Once the surgery is completed, these small incisions are sutured closed.

Benefits to Laparoscopic surgery include:

• Smaller surgical scars
• Reduced blood loss during surgery
• Less pain following surgery
• Faster return to normal activity
• Reduced risk of infection
