Laparoscopic surgical procedures enjoy many benefits over traditional open surgery, making them the more popular choice among surgeons and patients alike. Laparoscopic surgery causes less trauma to the insides of the body as it is minimally invasive.
Smaller incisions mean that there is less amount of blood loss during the surgery, lowering the risk of hemorrhage during the procedure.During diagnosis and surgery, only a few incisions are made, and each incision is small so there is less scarring and risk of infection.
The procedure takes a shorter duration of time, followed by a shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery time. Since there is less pain during the healing period, reducing the need for pain medication.
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
Advanced laparoscopic surgery refers to more complex surgical procedures that involve higher levels of skill and precision, intricate technique, and highly specialized tools. While laparoscopic surgery is in itself a challenging procedure to complete, advanced laparoscopic surgery is considered more difficult to perform because it is usually conducted on more challenging anatomical areas and involves higher risk. Robotic assistance and 3D laparoscopy may be used in advanced laparoscopic procedures to enable higher precision in complex procedures like pancreatic surgery, appendectomy, colorectal and gynecological surgeries, vagotomy, cardiomyotomy, or intricate pelvic reconstruction surgery.
