Laparoscopic Surgery is a kind of surgery that permits a specialist to see through your abdomen and pelvis without making large incisions on to the skin or your abdomen. This methodology is otherwise called keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.

How a Surgeon Performs Laparoscopic Surgery?

An expert laparoscopic surgeon uses a laparoscope as a key element in this surgery. A laparoscope is generally a long fibre optic cable system that allows him/her to view the affected area by simply inserting the cable from easily accessible and more distant locations around the actual point. A Laparoscope is further connected to a cold light source so that the operative field can be illuminated. It is inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula. 

The surgeon then breathes in the carbon dioxide gas in your abdomen in order to elevate the abdominal wall above the internal organs. This helps the practitioner in working and viewing the space. The only reason Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is used is because the human body is familiar with this. The gas is automatically removed by the respiratory system and absorbed by the tissue. 

The upsides of this strategy over conventional open surgery include:

• A shorter hospital stay 
• Quicker recovery time
• Less weakness after any activity
• Less scarring
• Small Incisions
• No Pain 
• Early continuing the normal activities
