Laparoscopy is a procedure based on the principle of imaging the intra-abdominal organs with the help of a thin camera from the navel under general anesthesia. It is also possible to treat with assistive instruments inserted through millimeter holes drilled in the abdomen during imaging. Most of the gynecological surgeries such as cysts, uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine prolapse can be performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopy, also known as closed, bloodless and knifeless surgery among the people, has been used for therapeutic purposes in medicine since the 1980s.
Developing with the advancement of technology, laparoscopic surgery is a very safe option today. Many operations in the abdominal cavity are now available laparoscopically.
We can list the advantages of laparoscopic surgery as follows:
- Shorter hospital stay. The process of discharge after laparoscopic surgery is much faster than hospitalization after a few days in open surgery.
- A more aesthetic appearance as the abdomen is entered with millimeter holes
- Less pain after surgery
- Rare incidence of complications such as infection and adhesions
- Postoperative recovery, faster return to daily activities. Therefore, the economic gain of returning to work early
Considering these advantages, laparoscopic surgery has become a frequently preferred method today.
