Laparoscopy: Procedure, Purpose, and Recovery

Laparoscopy: Procedure, Purpose, and Recovery, It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that makes use of the tiniest incisions to access the internal parts of the body.

Naming Convention

The procedure is named after the laparoscope (a tool) which has both the video camera and the light on the end.

  • Gallbladder
  • Gynecology
  • Intestines
  • Liver

How Is It Performed?

Which Points Can Convince Patients That Laparoscopy Is A Benefitting Procedure?

 

Inform your doctor about the medications you take, so that the doctor can change the dosage or usage of it if necessary, so it does not affect the surgery. The doctor should also be informed about pregnancy for the sake of the baby’s health.

There are so many advantageous points of this procedure:

  • Less Cutting
  • Small Scars ( That go unnoticed after some time)
  • Comparatively less pain once the scars get healed
  • Life may become normal once again as you are not required to be on bed rest for a prolonged period.
  • Less scarring in the internal system

Little Comparison With Traditional Surgical Approach

If we talk about the recovery concerning traditional methods, then it would take 4 to 8 weeks. But the recovery period is comparatively shortened in the case of the minimally invasive procedure. It is just a week.

Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeries

In some situations, the doctors may feel the need to insert the camera along with the surgical tools through the incisions themselves. This surely will lead to less scarring.

 

Hand-assisted Laparoscopic Procedure

There are other cases as well, in which the surgeons determine to make use of the devices which help them to make their hand inserted through the incisions. This is known as the hand-assisted laparoscopic procedure.
