What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopic surgery, also referred to as ''
minimally invasive surgery'', ''bandaid surgery'', ''
keyhole surgery'' is a modern surgical technique in
which operations in the abdomen are performed
through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) with the
assistance of a video camera and several thin
instruments.

fashion compared to standard open surgery.

Robotic Laparoscopy Surgery
Some features includes..
Visual magnification — use of a large viewing
screen improves visibility
Stabilization — Electromechanical damping of
vibrations, due to machinery or shaky human
hands
Simulators — use of specialized virtual reality
training tools to improve physicians'
proficiency in surgery
Reduced number of incisions
