Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that is used for abdominal procedures. This surgery involves the use of the laparoscope, which is a small telescopic device. This device is a tube with a light on the end. It is inserted into a small incision in the abdomen. By inserting this light, a surgeon can better see organs inside the abdomen. A laparoscope generally is not used to directly treating conditions. A surgeon will use the light to locate a problem, and then will operate with small instruments. This allows surgery to be exact and precise, reducing the amount of incisions and exploration needed.
Laparoscopy is commonly used to treat some cancers, gynecological problems, urological problems, and other problems in which the affected organ is located in the abdomen. This surgical technique can also be used for exploration in finding cysts, adhesions, fibroids, infections and taking tissue sample for biopsies.
What does this all mean??? Laparoscopic surgery may not be as advanced as some of the other minimally invasive techniques, but it is still a great tool in surgery. The laparoscope is useful for finding problems, and allowing surgeons to accurately see the problem. This allows surgeries to be more accurate and have less error. It is better in surgery to know exactly where the problem is than to have to find the problem. With laparoscopic surgery techniques problems can be found easier and operation can be adjusted to be the most efficient and safe. In this way, laparoscopy is promoting better health for patients by reducing risks for infection and complications in surgery.
In this video, the beginning procedure of a Chloecystectomy, or gall bladder removal surgery, are described. This shows how a laparoscope is used in an abdominal procedure.
This video is actual footage of a gall bladder removal surgery. After watching the video above, this will video will provide footage of how laparoscopic surgery is used.
