General & Laparoscopic Surgery

What is Laparoscopic surgery

Today, laparoscopic surgery is a widely accepted surgical technique that uses small incisions and long pencil-like instruments to perform operations with a camera. As the incisions are much smaller than their open counterparts, recovery is faster and post-operative pain is typically less. Procedures such as hernia repairs, gastric bypass, bowel resection, and organ removal are now routinely carried out laparoscopic.

Laparoscopic surgery has successfully replaced open surgery as the preferred treatment option for issues such as barbaric surgery and gallbladder removal. In fact this surgery can now be performed as an outpatient operation. The treatment of gastrointestinal reflex disease is now carried out using minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic fun duplication offers the advantage of faster recovery and quicker return to oral ingestion of food. Laparoscopic surgery for weight loss has caught on in a big way. Laparoscopy has advanced sufficiently to the extent that it can be repeated for a patient who has undergone a previous laparoscopic operation. However, care needs to be taken than organs do not get injured and to this end the entry site may have to be different and an alternate entry technique may have to be used. The risk to benefit ratio of laparoscopic surgery is improving continuously in favor of benefits.
