Laparoscopy is a surgery that is carried out within the abdomen or pelvis with small cuts and the assistance of a camera. It is applied for diagnosis, therapeutic treatment, and surgery. This surgery has greater benefits compared to open surgery.

The operation is performed by creating small incisions, about half an inch in size, and a tube through the same opening where the equipment and camera are passed. Then, observing it on the screen the operation is performed.

Some of the most frequent types of this operation are:

• Laparoscopic inguinal hernia
• Laparoscopic ventral wall hernia
• Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy
• Laparoscopic Fundoplication
• Laparoscopic cardiomyotomy with fundoplication
• Laparoscopic ileal resection
• Laparoscopic vagatomies
• Laparoscopic Meckel’s diverticulectomy
• Laparoscopic coloectomies
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Laparoscopic appendicectomy
• Laparoscopic surgery for hernia

It is a minimally invasive surgery. Most of these surgeries are done under general anesthesia. The time of recovery for each individual depends on their physical condition. Also, on the area of surgery.

Benefits of this surgery:

• Smaller scars.
• Can return home quickly
• Less pain
• Less chance of infection.
• Return to normal activities sooner than in open surgery.

It is a diagnostic procedure when noninvasive methods are unable to diagnose the condition. It can also be used to take a sample for biopsy from an organ or tissue.
