Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, uses a video camera and thin instruments inserted through small incisions to perform surgical procedures. The camera transmits an image of the organs inside onto a monitor, allowing the surgeon to see inside the body without making large incisions. Some common procedures performed laparoscopically include gallbladder removal, appendix removal, gastric banding, and kidney stone removal. Advantages of laparoscopic surgery include less pain, blood loss, and scarring compared to open surgery, along with shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times. However, laparoscopic surgery requires specialized skills and equipment and may not be suitable for all procedures.

shortens recovery time, as well as
resulting in less post-operative scarring.
 Less pain, leading to less pain medication
needed.

7. Continue…
 Although procedure times are usually
slightly longer, hospital stay is less, and
often with a same day discharge which
leads to a faster return to everyday living.
 Reduced exposure of internal organs to
possible external contaminants thereby
reduced risk of acquiring infections.

8. Disadvantage
 High cost and technology requirement.
 Special skills required for its use.
 Not suitable to perform complicated
surgeries.
 May need secondary open surgery.

9. Precaution After
Surgery
 It is safe to resume normal activities
when you feel able.
 Do not drive for 24 hours or until after
you have stopped your narcotic pain
medicine since you will be drowsy. If
your stomach is sore enough to limit
motion of your legs, wait to drive until the
soreness subsides.
