Laparoscopic or “minimally invasive surgery” (MIS) or keyhole surgery is a specialized technique of performing operations through a smallest possible incision or simple a keyhole. In the past, this technique was commonly used for gynaecologic surgery and for gall bladder surgery. Over the last 10 years the use of this technique has expanded into many parts of body for various surgeries.

Laparoscopic surgery uses several 0.5-1cm incisions, called a “ports.” Specialized instruments and a special camera known as a laparoscope are passed through the small ports through trochars during the procedure. At the beginning of the procedure, the abdomen is inflated with certain gases to provide a working and viewing space for the surgeon. Then the other instruments are passed along with laparoscope through multiple ports or holes.

The laparoscope transmits live video images from the abdominal cavity to high-resolution medical monitors in the operating room for surgeons to perform the operations. During the operation the surgeon watches detailed images of every organ inside the abdomen or any cavity on the monitor and performs the complete surgery. This advanced technique through ultramodern hi-tech laparoscopy system allows the surgeon to perform the same operations as traditional surgery but with much smaller incisions and minimal complications.

Advantages of laparoscopic Surgery compared to traditional open surgery :

1. Operations through very small holes called ports.
2. No big wounds or scars externally on the body.
3. Patients often experience much lesser pain.
4. Lesser or minimal complications or damages to surrounding structures.
5. Faster or early recovery.
6. Minimises the stay in hospital. 
7. Less or minimal scarring with laparoscopic surgery internally also.
