Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), is a modern surgical technique that uses small incisions —typically 0.5 to 1.5 cm — to perform internal operations with the aid of a high-resolution camera and specialized instruments. The laparoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, is inserted through one of the incisions, allowing the surgeon to view the surgical area on a monitor and operate with precision.

Key Benefits:

• Smaller Incisions: Reduced scarring and lower risk of wound infections.

• Less Pain: Patients experience significantly less postoperative pain compared to open surgery.

• Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.

• Lower Complication Rates: Reduced blood loss and fewer postoperative complications.

• Improved Visualization: High-definition imaging allows for enhanced accuracy and safety.

Common Procedures Performed Laparoscopically :

• Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (Removal of uterus)
• Ovarian cystectomy (Ovarian cyst/. Chocolate cyst removal)
• Myomectomy (Removal of Fibroid)
• Tubal ligation ( Permanent sterilisation)
• Sacrocolpopexy / Sacrohysterocolpopexy (Prolapse management)
• Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy
• Tubal Reanastomosis (Reversal of Tubal Ligation)
• Tubal Canulation

Ideal Candidates :

Most patients who require abdominal or pelvic surgery may be eligible for laparoscopic procedures. Suitability depends on individual health status, the nature of the condition, and previous surgical history.
