We now have the technology to perform laparoscopic procedures. This is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which abdominal surgeries are performed through small incisions of 1cm or less. Typically between 1 and 3 incisions are made through which the scope and instruments are introduced into the abdomen. Magnified images of the internal organs are visible on a high definition monitor.
Laparoscopy offers:
•More thorough examination of the tissue than with open surgical approaches
•Less intra-operative tissue trauma
•Less blood loss
•Reduced risk of infection
•Less post-operative pain for the patient
•Better visualization for the surgeon of the disease process for treatment
•Less invasive procedure rather than a traditional open surgical approach
•Smaller incisions that offer quicker recovery time
•Less scar tissue formation
