Advantages of laparoscopic surgery
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure. It first injects gas (carbon dioxide, inert gas) into the body's abdomen (abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity) to form a surgical space. Then use a professional trocar through the abdominal wall to form a 3mm-15mm port. The small-diameter port is used as an observation and operation channel for various surgical instruments, such as an endoscopic camera or laparoscopic forceps connected to the imaging and light source system. The operator can fully see the operation area through the inserted camera, so that the operation site is as clear as the open operation.
Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has many advantages, such as –
Small incision: small incision in the abdomen 0.5cm to 1.5cm.
The operation time is shorter: less bleeding.
Pain is mild: postoperative pain is significantly reduced.
Faster recovery: There is little chance of infection or complications.
Less scars: better cosmetic effects.
Shorter hospital stay: some patients are able to get out of bed and move around on the day of surgery.
Because laparoscopic surgery can achieve the same therapeutic effect as open surgery, clinical practice shows that most operations in the abdominal cavity and pelvic area can be performed under laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement and innovation of surgical instruments, laparoscopic technology has been applied to hysterectomy, uterine fibroids surgery, ovarian cystectomy, cholecystectomy, common bile duct incision and stone removal, nephrectomy Surgery, appendectomy, and many other operations.
