Laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery, keyhole surgery, or pinhole surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5cm) as compared to larger incisions needed in traditional surgical procedures. Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, where as keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity is called thoracoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery belong to the broader field of endoscopy.

The key element in laparoscopic surgery is the use of a laparoscope: a telescopic rod lens system, that is usually connected to a video camera (single chip or three chip). Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a 'cold' light source (halogen or xenon), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula to view the operative field. The abdomen is usually insufflated with carbon dioxide gas to create a working and viewing space. The abdomen is essentially blown up like a balloon (insufflated), elevating the abdominal wall above the internal organs like a dome. The gas used is CO2, as it is common to the human body and can be removed by the respiratory system if it absorbs through tissue. It is also non-flammable, which is important due to the fact that electrosurgical devices are commonly used in laparoscopic procedures.

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose organs inside the abdomen and helps in treatment for chronic disease, diverticulitis, cancer, ulcerative colitis, rectal prolapse, and severe constipation. Laparoscopy Surgery is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions. Laparoscopy uses a laparoscope instrument to look at the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long thin tube with a high-resolution camera & high-intensity light at the front. The laparoscope is inserted through the abdominal wall through an incision & the camera sends images to the video monitor to help procedure of surgery. Additional surgical instruments are also used at times. Up to three or four small incisions can often be expected for the surgery.
