Laparoscopic Surgery
A laparoscopy is an examination of the abdomen using a camera or endoscope. Laparoscopic surgery is called by various names such as "endoscopic surgery, closed surgery, bloodless surgery, and through-hole surgery," which are used in both medical and colloquial terms. After the patient is anesthetized, carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a special needle to inflate the abdominal cavity.
The most important feature of this gas is that it is absorbed and eliminated from the body very quickly. Next, special instruments called ‘trocars’, measuring 5–15 mm in diameter, are attached to the anterior abdominal wall at several points. Using a special telescope inserted in one of these trocars, the intra-abdominal organs are projected onto a screen. And with the help of specially designed surgical hand tools, the surgery is performed without large incisions.
What Are the Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery?
- Less pain after surgery
- Early mobilization of patients
- A quick recovery process.
- Early return to work and daily life (Patients can complete daily tasks in 2–3 days, return to active work in 5–7 days, and be able to drive in 10 days.)
- Fewer postoperative wound infections
- Minimal surgical scars and high cosmetic effects
- Minimize pulmonary complications by breathing more comfortably and deeply.
- Hernia prevention at the surgical site
Laparoscopic Surgery for Weight Loss
Today, with the existence of the required technical equipment and a surgical team with sufficient experience, laparoscopic surgery is preferable to traditional open surgeries, which require large incisions. Some of the laparoscopic procedures are considered the gold standard worldwide. The effectiveness of laparoscopy in cancer surgery has been recognized by the scientific community.
The disadvantages of this method are: relatively longer operation duration requires an experienced operation team, and has a relatively higher cost.
