What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopic surgery, also called keyhole or minimal access surgery, is done through small cuts of 5 to 10 mm using a high definition camera and fine instruments. It replaces the large cut of open surgery for most abdominal operations.
The benefits are clear. Less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stay, lower infection risk and faster return to work. At Medsovis, most abdominal surgeries are done laparoscopically whenever it is safe.
