Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopy is a way of performing a surgery. Instead of making a large incision (or cut) for certain operations, surgeons make tiny incisions and insert tiny instruments and a camera into a site, such as into the abdomen, to view the internal organs .
Early on, the technique of laparoscopy, sometimes referred to as keyhole surgery, was used only to diagnose conditions. Then doctors began to perform surgeries such as tubal sterilization in women using laparoscopy.

The technique has evolved so much that operations that once required doctors to make a very large incision, such as to remove the uterus or fibroids , can now all be done with this less invasive surgery .

Benefits of all laparoscopic procedures are less pain , less blood loss , no ugly scars and faster recovery
