In today’s world of advanced medical cares, more patients are opting for laparoscopic surgery rather than open surgery— and that is for a very good reason; laparoscopic surgery is faster, causes less pain and recovery time is shorter.

In this blog, we will explain what laparoscopic surgery is, how it works and why it is sometimes better than conventional methods.
What is laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery – minimally invasive surgery, the procedure involves multiple small incisions (5 – 10 mm) in order to insert a camera (laparoscope) and surgical instrument in order to use the camera to perform operations while the viewer watches a live video feed of the procedure on a screen.
