Basic Laparoscopic Surgery

Basic laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in the abdominal and pelvic region. This involves using a laparoscope (a thin telescopic rod with a camera at the end) to examine the inside of the body without having to open it completely. Instead of the 6 to 12-inch incision required for open abdominal surgery, laparoscopic surgery uses two to four small incisions of half an inch or less. One is for the camera and the other for surgical instruments.
