What is Laparoscopic & Endoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic & Endoscopic Surgery represents the most advanced form of minimally invasive treatment used for abdominal, gastrointestinal, gallbladder, appendix, hernia and various diagnostic procedures.
Instead of large cuts made during traditional surgery, these techniques use tiny incisions, high-definition cameras, and micro-instruments, resulting in faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
How Laparoscopy Works
- A small incision is made near the abdomen.
- A high-resolution camera (laparoscope) is inserted.
- Surgeons operate using miniature instruments and real-time imaging.
How Endoscopy Works
- A flexible tube with a camera is inserted through a natural opening (mouth/rectum).
- No incision is required.
- Used for diagnosis and treatment of stomach, esophagus, and colon problems.
These minimally invasive surgeries are widely used due to greater safety, reduced pain, and much faster healing compared to traditional open surgery.
