Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical procedure in a cavity in the body through small holes ranging between 5 mm and 15 mm, through which an endoscope (telescope) and special surgical tools are ed through which the surgery is performed. After carbon dioxide (CO2) is pumped to provide a working space within the respective bore, the endoscope provides high-resolution vision into the bore. After the operation is completed, carbon dioxide gas comes out through the aforementioned holes, and the few remaining ones are absorbed by the human body and transported through the blood to be excreted out of the body by the lungs.
Advantages of laparoscopic surgery
Reducing pain caused by surgery compared to traditional surgery in which the wound is much larger.
Reducing the length of stay in the hospital.
Allow the patient to return to his work and daily activities faster.
Giving the surgeon an accurate and enlarged picture of the body parts, which facilitates the procedure of surgical intervention and improves the results.
It avoids large scars resulting from traditional procedures, as the overlap with the binoculars is very small and most of the time not noticeable.
Reducing the incidence of complications such as wound infection and intra-abdominal adhesions (which may lead to intestinal obstruction later).
As all these advantages have been proven by documented scientific research, and this type of surgery requires special training and skills on the part of the surgeon and requires special equipment and advanced technologies that make it more expensive,
