Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as minimally invasive surgery, is a specialized technique that employs a laparoscope—a slender rod equipped with a camera—to gain visual access to the abdominal and pelvic cavities through small keyhole incisions. This advanced approach, characterized by its utilization of tiny ports, presents numerous benefits including swifter recovery periods and improved patient outcomes.

Primarily utilized in gynecologic and gall bladder surgeries, laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery has progressively extended its application to encompass intestinal procedures over the last decade. Unlike the conventional “open” surgery, which necessitates a single large incision to enter the abdomen, laparoscopic surgery employs multiple incisions ranging from 0.5 to 1cm in size, each referred to as a “port.” Through these ports, specialized instruments and a laparoscope—a specialized camera—are introduced using trochars.

Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy Surgery Procedure

To facilitate the procedure, the abdomen is infused with carbon dioxide gas at the outset, creating a workspace and visual field for the surgeon. The laparoscope transmits high-definition images of the abdominal cavity to monitors in the operating room. The surgeon observes these intricate images on the monitors throughout the surgery, enabling them to perform the same procedures as in traditional surgery, albeit through smaller incisions.

In specific scenarios, a surgeon might opt for a more significant port to accommodate the insertion of a hand. This technique variation, known as “hand-assisted” laparoscopy, involves a slightly larger incision than the other laparoscopic ports, yet it remains smaller than the incision required for conventional open surgery.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, employs a laparoscope—a slender rod with an attached camera—to visualize the abdomen and pelvis. This technique avoids extensive incisions, using two to four small cuts, each less than half an inch. Often called “keyhole surgery,” it’s a less intrusive alternative to open surgery, leading to faster recovery.

A laparoscopy, involving keyhole incisions, serves diagnostic purposes, uncovering issues not detectable by imaging. Surgeons might conduct biopsies and address minor problems, like removing growths. Many surgeries are now performed laparoscopically due to its benefits, including cyst removal, biopsies, hernia repair, and more. The approach’s cost-effectiveness and improved patient outcomes make it increasingly pop

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to access the inside of the abdomen. The latest advancements in laparoscopic surgery include:

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery: This technique uses a robotic system to control the laparoscopic instruments, which allows for greater precision and control during the surgery.
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery: This technique uses only one small incision, typically located in the belly button, to perform the surgery. This results in less scarring and faster recovery time.
Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES): This technique uses natural openings, such as the mouth or vagina, to access the abdomen, eliminating the need for incisions.

Hysteroscopic Surgery

Hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a hysteroscope, a thin tube with a camera and light on the end, to access the inside of the uterus. The latest advancements in hysteroscopic surgery include:

Operative hysteroscopy: This technique uses specialized instruments, such as scissors and graspers, to perform procedures such as endometrial ablation, fibroid removal, and hysteroscopic sterilization.
Resectoscopic hysteroscopy: This technique uses a resectoscope with a loop or wire to remove tissue, to perform procedures such as polyp removal and treatment of abnormal bleeding.
Single-port hysteroscopy: This technique uses a single port, typically located in the cervix, to access the uterus, which results in less pain and faster recovery time.
