Laparoscopy surgery has been a widely accepted and popular method of surgery at the best laparoscopic surgery hospital in India. This revolutionary method of surgery is marked for its revolutionary approach. Instead of making one large incision, laparoscopic surgery is conducted by making several small cuts that are much smaller than those done in the traditional method of surgery. In this procedure, a device known as the laparoscope is used. Other devices that are used for this surgery is a narrow tube with a tiny video camera and a bright light at the tip. At the time of surgery, the doctor inserts the tube by making small cuts of width of about 1 cm to take a clear look at the internal organs.
Laparoscopy is also known as ‘minimally invasive’ surgery as it is conducted by making only a few holes into the surgery area. It is in contrast to traditional surgery that is done by making bigger incisions. As there are few more tools that are to be inserted (including a laparoscopic camera) in and around the site of the operation, a few more incisions are made. Laparoscopic surgery first came in practice for gallbladder surgery and a few gynaecological operations. Over the years it is widely used for operating various other organs such as intestines, liver, abdomen and other organs.
