Minimally Invasive Surgery Leads to Faster Recovery Times
The purpose of laparoscopic surgery, which first emerged in the 1980s,
is for faster post-operative healing times compared to traditional surgery.
That’s because laparoscopic surgery is performed through smaller
incisions, and surgeons utilize tiny surgical instruments. The laparoscope
is an instrument the surgical team uses to view the inside of the body
with a fiberoptic system attached to a video camera that connects to a
television in the operating room. This allows the surgical team to view
the patient’s surgical treatment area without the need for large
incisions, and it inflicts less damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
The continual innovations in laparoscopic surgery make it possible for
surgeons to utilize this technique to treat a wide range of conditions.
Some of the benefits of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery include:
Smaller scars
Shorter hospital stays
You’ll be able to get back to your everyday activities sooner
